$57 damn thats expensive. I filled up my stang just the other day and it only cost me $34 and I was at a quater of a tank. Then again I fill up with 87 octane. My gas normally lasts me about a week back at home and about a month up here at college.

HokieStang00 · 05-13-2008, 02:26 PM

We just hit 4.00$ a gallon in Michigan. So I'm guessing I'd be just above 50$ to fill up. No more random road trips.

No joke, I used to love to take random trips, just go to the lake randomly, go floating, go any where but where I am now. But no more... just sit in this stupid town and do nothing. Heck I don't even want to take my car to the track now, its a long drive then I have to do a 1/4 mile, too much gas.

jjtgiants · 05-13-2008, 04:53 PM

well, that's one of the reasons why I got rid of my mach. Didn't want to fill it up ever 3 days with premium fuel. Fuel prices are hitting everyone pretty hard....including the price of food. Not sure if any of you have been grocery shopping lately, but it seems like everything has gone up in price...except for strawberries, you can still get those pretty cheap in Cali.

I've also noticed A LOT more people taking BART....Bay Area Rapid Transit *(it's like the SF Bay Area's version of the subway system)

It's going to get a lot worse people!

Dream · 05-13-2008, 07:38 PM

lol i filled up from almost empty. took 49L in a 52L tank.....cost me 72 bucks!

V6_Mustang_Power · 05-13-2008, 07:41 PM

it just hit 4 dollars here

3.8for the win · 05-13-2008, 07:46 PM

its about 370 hear some places have it for 367.

PColav6 · 05-13-2008, 07:47 PM

3.69

it was 3.49 last week .

doobie · 05-13-2008, 07:57 PM

last thursday when i filled my car (didnt do any driving over the weekend, been trying not to) it was 52$ for 87 for pretty much a full tank.

diesel has been averaging about $4.70-4.90/gal here for quite a while so i can see where the increase in food prices is coming from, no want

you'll see me soon on the list of members who sold their cars, probably in the next month.

why sell your car and then start paying for another one? even if you do get a car with 10times better gas mileage your not going to be saving anymore money. In fact you may be losing some. Just do the math theres no way your going to break even unless you sell the stang and buy a cheap honda that gets 35mpg and you wont have to owe anything on....... but face it you can get much for 9k-12k.

well this car isn't paid off so i will have a car payment *regardless*. so i want something that is cheaper on gas and something that will also lower my insurance rate.

WaterDR · 05-13-2008, 11:02 PM

This crap is getting crazy and I can hardly believe it. I am commuting 100 miles a day right now until Mid June and that does not include my wife's driving. I am paying for about 4 fill-ups per week at this rate. F- me!

PureStang · 05-13-2008, 11:12 PM

one of the reasons im considering trading the mustang and the sable for a lil honda civic si or golf gti.

then again, i just may buy a coilover kit from MM and keep paying the outrageous gas prices....

there will be a time when the govt will have to get involved with this ordeal.

rebelyell · 05-14-2008, 01:11 AM

I'm so lucky, because my job is only 4 miles from my house. $3.90 here for mid grade gas. And I'm using my 5th gear way more than I used to. I'm actually getting better gas mileage because I've changed my driving habits. I used to drive the extra miles to go home for lunch breaks. Now I just stay at work, unless I need to get away from the place or 30 minutes. I have yet to lay any serious blck marks since I got new tires last year, ( that's another story on prices.LOL), so I can put 20 bucks in my tank and last for a week. If I can keep my foot out of it. Hard to do most of time.

spike_africa · 05-14-2008, 06:41 AM

This is why im glad i got my motorcycle for my graduation present.

doobie · 05-14-2008, 06:55 AM

WaterDR-

yeah, my commute is ~60mi/day, not as bad as yours, but some days I also go to school so it adds to that. I end up getting gas every 3-4 days.

OUCH. This is getting flat out rediculous. I remember when i started driving gas was 87 cents a gallon. Where'd those days go?

doobie · 05-14-2008, 08:56 AM

well on the way to work today, gas was 4.18...

Black Sunshine · 05-14-2008, 09:30 AM

I work about 12 miles from home, and I fill up every Thursday when I hit 1/4 of a tank. It normally costs me between $35-$45 to fill up from around 1/4. I drive my '93 4 cylinder on the weekend. All the places I eat for lunch are within walking distance of the office. When I have to run company errands, they reimburse me .50 a mile.

The gas this morning at the place I usually get it from was $3.75 a gallon. Although, I have seen it over $4.00 at other places.

I am parking my GT if gas gets over $4.00 at the place I always stop at. Thank (insert diety here) I decided not to sell my 2.3 liter.

i sure hope so cause it's getting pretty bad. Then again if I saw my bank account rising everytime gas prices went up I'm not sure I'd do anything about it either.

It just pisses me off the Govt has no problem jumping on things like steriods in baseball, but sit on their asses when people can't even afford to drive to work anymore.
