Pretty soon it will cost $100 to fill up for the week. I figured it might cost $70 I had to give up another $20. At least the attendant saved me a penny by giving $5 in change back.

This is getting out of hand.

    DUDE!!! that's just not right.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    I live in Finland and here the prices today are something like this:

    1 liter (0,26 gal ) = 1,59 euro= 2,42 USD
    3,785 liter ( 1 gallon) = 6,02 euros= 9,15 USD

    yep... 9 usd /gallon.... SICK.



    diesel is about 8,20 USD / gallon

    glad I don't have a car.

    Yes I know we're living the good life but this hits suddenly it's a shocking wake up call.

    I live in the fricking USA, 6 months in Palm Beach FL, and 6 months in The Nation's Capital.

    I found the lowest in town and that was $3.92 reg, The subway is MORE expensive however riding the 32 miles roundtrip to work is looking more enticing.

    I don't think the outlook is to good. It'll all come crashing down though once prices get too high and the US crashes into a depression and then the world's economy goes in the tank (no pun intended).
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    I was going to the O's Red Sox game tonight but it's not worth driving up to Baltimore in the rain after dropping that much on gas. I rather stay home and hold to the gas I have cause who knows how much it'll be next week.

    well I'd say if it's lasting you that long then it IS great on gas. but the $50 is just cause it has an average-size tank in a small car, and when you combine that with the price of gas, $50 is normal. but hey, it lasts you a long time. $50 every 3 weeks/month is PRETTY DAMN GOOD by today's standards.
