Ugh, yes!
For the first time ever, I actually had to fill my car at $4.04 a gallon last weekend. My car takes premium, but this was the first time I've paid over $ 4/gallon. Painful!! I stood at the pump by myself, and bitched about it-to myself.
This was in Corsicana, TX, and I don't know what prices are here in Houston, because I have yet to refill the car.

Wow. Sounds like it is a lot worse elsewhere. The prices I paid were for premium- regular is still under $4 here.

I'm looking to buy a new car soon - you better believe I'll be checking out the hybrids! In the meantime, we haven't hit $4 yet, but I have been clocking how many miles it takes to the places I need to go regularly.

Hanging tough at $3.99 at the stations around me. I don't think they want to change that 3 to a 4 yet either...

I would hold off on getting a hybrid until their prices come down closer to gas types/versions.
Unless of course the model you are looking at still gets the Federal tax credit and/or your employer gives you some benefit.

I filled up my tank last night at $3.95/gallon and spent about $40.00. Interesting, the only pumps that were working were the regular ones, a 180 from a few weeks ago, when only premium/supreme were available.
Good thing I did, because it finally hit the $4.00 mark in Hawaii.

More than likely, I will be filling up my tank tomorrow. I will be paying at least $4.15/gal. I cannot wait to see how much it will take to fill it up!

Been paying over $4/gal for a while now. My car only takes premium.
According to gasbuddy.com, you can't even get regular for less than $4/gal around here.

Does your hybrid take regular?
How big is the tank?
How long are you able to go between fill ups?
What's your mpg?
Do you do more city or hwy driving?

Do you have a new tahoe or something?

I have a Prius...I'm sooo glad I bought it since I drive about 500 miles every 7-10 days. I get between 380 and 500 miles per tank with an 11.5 gallon tank. The most I've ever filled my tank with is 10.2 gallons, however. If I drive carefully (ie. the speed limit and with cruise control), I get just under 50mpg. I get 42 mpg if I speed constantly! I mainly drive highway but depending on the time of day, it can be very stop and go. You definitely get better mileage when maintaining a constant speed. My car does take regular so the most I've ever spent on a tank is $38.

today I've seen some stations over $4 but most are holding at 3.999. I had heard that about some pumps.. that they can't be set over $3.999.. but most of the stations around here are newer, so I doubt I'll be able to take advantage of that.

Thanks so much for posting the article Jon. My car is supposed to take premium, but I've been using regular and haven't noticed any difference. According to the article, I'll be fine. I'm not really into super high performance and horsepower. If it gets me to and from work and the grocery store, I'm good
