We've been well above the $3 mark in the Seattle suburbs for quite a while.

I think the last station I saw was at $3.09. It's been hovering around $3 for a bit, so I didn't really flinch when I saw that.

That's about where we are. Until Libya stabilizes, it's just going to go up and up. Whether you believe in global warming or not, THIS is a great reason to be moving toward alternative fuels. We need to break free from dependence on the Middle East.

That original post really upsets me...

Tell me what you think.

I just had to quote this OP after crusse mentioned it. I mean $10 for a half full tank?! I'm curious what the OP was driving. I have a Civic so pretty small gas tank and I'm paying about $30 and I usually put in 9 gallons. The F150 on the other hand...

When I had my Elantra back in 2000, $10 was a full tank (or close to it).

This is so depressing. I'm almost happy I didn't start driving until like 2005ish and didn't start filling up my own gas tank until 2007. The first couple years Dad and I shared the car.

Got a fill-up the other day and dropped over $40 - and I never let my gas gauge get under 1/4. The Princess only drinks Veuve Clicquot - Korbel won't cut it. I'm so glad I work from home... the Princess and I only run errands in and around Stepford.
I remember the days when you could get gas for 75 cents a gallon.

Some unspecified number of years before 2000, as I was gathering my stuff to go home for the summer after my freshman year, my goal was to find $10 in loose change, dollar bills stuffed in pockets, whatever. I knew if I had $10, I could fill the tank and get a fountain drink and pack of gum for the trip.
That seems like lifetimes ago. Funny that I can remember it so clearly.    Geez. Now I feel the need to yell at all those kids on my lawn.

Ditto with my '99 Chevy Cavalier.

Ditto.
I'm figuring out where to tighten the belt to make room in the budget for these higher gas prices. I fill my daughter's 10 gallon tank once per pay period and my own twice usually. My tank takes around 15 gallons if I let it get down really low.
