I don't know for sure how big my tank is because I never wait until it is close to being empty to fill it up.

According to WikiAnswers (since I'm too lazy to go to my car to check the owners manual) the gas tank of my car has a capacity of 15.2 gallons.

The gas station I went to had Regular gas for $3.57/gal

Which would mean an actual FILL UP of my car is $54.264

It's a (*&@#$(*@# CAVALIER!!!!

On 4/26 it was $3.57/ gal reg. unleaded.

Today, 16 days later, at the same gas station, it was $3.74/gal.

I filled it up with about 1/3 left... and it was close to $38.

A full tank is now $56.85 for me.

At that rate, my fill is $97.84, and I fill up about twice a week.

One of my coworkers has a REALLY bad commute... it's made worse because of traffic... and both him & his wife drive about the same distance.

They spend around $500 a MONTH on fuel.

Before gas prices started going up, they tried selling their home to move closer (when they moved out there the commute wasn't the way it is now) and they live in a nice area, but the house never sold after being on the market for several months.

I can't even fathom what a huge dent $500/mo would put on my fun budget

Ha I don't care how expensive gas is, I'm not giving up fun or beer.

I agree . . . it just means that I will have to walk more for my fun. I save my driving for my commute to work and back and try my best to park for the weekend and walk (or convince others to drive )

Of course its no surprise that a southerner would give up beer. *sigh*

Today it was $3.89/gal. $25 for around 6 gals of gas.

Full tank is now $59.13... 9 days later.

That "bargain" I found the other day is gone
