gasoline prices

Luckly I do not drive far, 4.5 miles a day.

But I only put $20.00 in at a time. The scary thing is one time I got 189 miles, and the last time it was 136, that is @ 50 miles less!

You do realize you'd spend less on gas if you filled all the way up everytime.

I am feeling your pain. We premium girls need to cry on each other's shoulder.

According to this:
http://www.wikihow.com/Increase-Fuel-Mileage-on-a-Car

"When you fill up with gas, fill up completely and try and keep your tank above one third full. If your fuel runs low, the engine might not receive a steady supply of gas (since it will splash around while you're driving and it might momentarily splash away from the tube that leads gas out of the tank). Not having a steady supply of gas will make your engine less efficient. The benefits of having a full tank will outweigh the drawbacks of having the added weight."

LOL, it is fuel enjected!

With less gas, less weight, then easier on mileage.

Let's say today gas is 3.54/gal. You put 5.64 Gal in your car.

Next time, gas is 3.61/gal. You put 5.54 gal in your car.

Next time, gas is 3.71/gas. You put 5.39 gal in your car.

That's $60.00, 16.57 gal. That means for an average you paid $3.62/gal.

Well lets say you put $60 at $3.54, thats 16.95 gal.
