In Greater Miami/Ft. Lauderdale it's anywhere from $3.48ish-$3.79ish and that's for the regular. I used to fill up my used Honda in '03 for about $15. Now I can fill up my used Corolla for $38. I don't get paid more when gas rises and I don't think anyone else does either. Gas is eating away at my meager earnings... help me...help me...

I fill my Corolla up about once a week. It takes about 30 bucks to fill it up. I remember when I got my first car back in 1995- it took 13 dollars to fill it up. I do have a 20 mile or so commute- sometimes with traffic. I can only imagine the nightmare it must be for people with SUVs.
My next car will definitely be a hybrid.

Avg price for regular (not scientific avgerage, just what I've noticed) is $3.50+ now, I'm glad I filled up the other day, but I know I will need to again.

Gas is skyrocketing in NC too....its average is $3.55+ per gallon.....not to mention my current vehicle is a Dodge Ram 1500, its really getting to be a nightmare. I actually tried to fill my truck up yesterday and the gas pump automatically stopped me at $75.00

Scandia-Please read my above links about hybrids which I did edit and update a bit. I too was giving it some thought. Now I am giving it several thoughts.

Last summer, when I bought my bike, I felt silly throwing down $350. If I had a car that whole time, I definitely would have spent much more on that....
I haven't driven in 2 years, at all, so I'm worried about when I finally do have to get a car, how much more broke I'll be

Amazing isn't it how bad we are getting screwed?
Kansas City, Ks.- two days ago it was $3.55 unleaded, and then it will penny a day or three down and jump .12-.14 cents and people flock to the pumps at the higher price!
Thank goodness I drive close to my store and home.
I am tired as we say in this part of the country of getting stump broke by big companies and Government!!!!!!!!!!!

What big companies are screwing you on gas? Oil and gas companies?

It was $4.25 for diesel last weekend. Haven't had to fill up yet this week. It's about $70-75 to fill the tank, but that lasts us around 450 miles.
