    My last two tanks were over $80 (running premium for the S/C). Serious OUCH! It got me off the fence on a Mini Cooper S that I was considering. Faxed in the buy order this afternoon. Will post picks next week of the latest addition to the stable...

    $12.00 to fill up (3 gallons) for my sunny day vehicle, a Piaggio MP3. Gets 65 mpg. VX is sad and sitting in driveway most days now.

    I just gassed up the Rex last night for $45 at $4.01 a gal (Ultra 93).

    Whew, luckily, the VX only sees weekend driving and fill ups once every 3-4 weeks.

    $1.25 to "fill" my RAV4 EV. :-) Of course, if it had been "empty", it would have been over $2.

    $82 for the Trooper last week. (I last filled it in March).

    Of course, to be fair, I looked for the most expensive station in the county, then bought premium. I could have filled it for $74 if I had shopped around. But my next fillup will probably be in September.

    Gas here just went up to over $ 4.00 for premium. Regular around $ 3.80
    I still have some in the tank and will have to fill up this weekend.
    Will have to give up a round of golf just to fill the tank.

    Thumbs down Filling my baby up!!

    Well, Yesterday filled up for 70.00 big ones..93 octane..17.5 gallons. I can careless about the price of gas... when I am filling up my baby..but when I fill up my Trooper it really pisses me off.

    We are being taken for a ride..by the big oil companies...look at there profit margins.. it is despicable!!!!

    I got you all beat... Diesel's going for $4.74+ /gal around these parts. Woooohooo!!! Of course, I get 38-40 MPG in my Jetta TDI which even at those prices still beats the pants off the average gasser... The VX gets filled up about once a month and sits in my driveway most of the time now.
