just put the card in and fill it up, its only really like 15 to 20 dollars more each time you fill up. If you cant budget for that you got more problems.

87 = $3.65 , 93 = $3.99 in South Louisiana. If I get 17mpg in my car and use 93 octane, and get 14mpg in my truck and use 87 octane, which one's cheaper? Nevermind, I just figured out that's $0.23/mile in my car and $0.26/mile in my truck.

OBAMA: I'm just gonna be honest with ya. There's not much we can do next week or two weeks from now. (snickers) If you're getting eight miles a gallon you may want to think about a trade-in. You can get a great deal. I -- I promise you GM, or Ford, they're -- or Chrysler, they're -- gonna be happy to give you a deal on -- on something that gets you better gas mileage. Gas prices? They're gonna still fluctuate until we can start making these broader changes, and that's gonna take a couple of years to have serious effect

Where are you that the price of gas jumped $1.11 in a week??

$3.65 - 87. $3.99 - 93 here.

Get used to it. We won't see gas come down again unless the economy verges on collapse like it did a couple of years ago when it got over $4.00. Who knows how high it will have to get this time.

During the Bush administration the oil companies started pumping huge amounts of money into the commodities markets, making the oil commodities perform better and get more people trading it. So now oil price is being influenced by big money more than supply and demand, and the oil companies can add wall street to the list of people to blame. And no one has bigger money to manipulate the marke than big oil. So they have control of their own destiny now. They will blame commodity traders or Iran or holiday travel or any uprising or natural disaster that comes along, but it is all being controlled by money. They will continue to suck this economy dry until it collapses or people start to open their eyes and stop believing the big oil press stories.

Pretty much after having a huge disaster and your company still banks over $8 billion in profit for the year? Just a bunch of greedy *****.

Fortunately for them it is hot in FL right now and I don't feel like riding my bike everywhere. Because believe me school/food is close enough to bike to. If the campus had a gym/showers I probably would bike, I just don't want to sit around all day covered in sweat!

It also didn't help when they went to that ultra low sulfer diesel, ***** more expensive to produce, so we pay more at the pump cuz the truckers have to pay more to ship everything, all to be "green". What price is too much to be green? Its all a bunch of bs, obama and the politictions don't. Have to worry about transportation costs, we the american people pay for that.

Yeah because gas prices only affect what we pay at the pump, not the cost of any consumer goods or anything like that...

Here in NYC I've see premium as high as like $4.50. In Long Island (less taxes than NYC) premium can be had for as low as $4.09. More for credit card purchases. I filled up this morning for $4.19 a gallon.

As it's a daily driver and half my driving is in NYC and/or in traffic, I fill up like three times a week.

On long highway drives, I once hit 30 MPG when I had the 2.73 rear. Now running 3.42.

It would take $10 a gallon for me to even think about cutting back on driving. By the time that happened bikes and hondas would be worth their weight in gold.

LOL oh wait, my car doesn't even run

Hopefully its not like my crx. It was the worst pos I have owned. Its sitting in the back yard right now needing another $200. Its ate $1200 bucks in repairs in the last 3 months. Its also made it zero miles. Yeah it got 30mpg but it was so expensive to keep on the road I might as well drove my v8.
