OH NOES $3 PER GALLON FOR PEP!

[40cakes]

Seriously, though - I drive a small, fuel-efficient car and it's $30 to totally fill up my tank when I'm on E. What the fuck do the rest of you do?

I drive a 300-horsepower V8 and it costs me 39 to fill up my tank.

I'm okay with it.

Oof. I barely even fill up my tank anymore - I rarely travel great distances, and really only fill up once a month, maybe twice. Still, though, it's an adjustment to an already tight budget.

Well, the big issue isn't how much it costs you to fill the tank, it's how often you have to do it.

I do it about once a week.

I drive a Subaru

and light my cuban cigars with $100 bills.

But let me see yo' grill!

I wonder the same thing. If it costs me between $30 and $35 to fill up a friggin' Cavalier, how do people with REAL cars manage?

When I went to Otakon with pale_jezebel, she filled up her truck somewhere in Delaware and it cost $60. That was two years ago. I can't imagine what she spends now.

I jsut try not to stare at the gas pump as it is raping me - if I dont believe it is happening, maybe it will just go away :-(

Every year, millions of people are raped at the gas pump, and you could help stop that if you became one of the few who speak out about this epidemic. Silence is acquiescence, Richard.

Actually, I do the same damn thing. Also with bill-paying.

Yesterday I saw that I was at 1/4 tank, and knowing this I put $10 into the tank. The tank went up another 1/4 =( Money's so tight right now (until Monday) that I only had $23 dollars left to visit Beth tomorrow and to buy mother's day presents. Two cards later I'm down to $18. And I can't afford to pay my ebay bids, I'm making them wait until Monday for payment =P

Stupid money. People have to start giving me everything I want for free.

Seriously! That reminds me, I REALLY need to go down and pay my Avon now.

Sadly, I drive a mid-size, fuel-efficient (four cylinders) car and last night I paid FIFTY DOLLARS for FIFTEEN gallons.

I'm going to pray to Jeff the God of Petrol and ask him to please spare me the heathens price gouging.

I'll let you know if it works.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

But Jeff is the God of Biscuits, see?

(Mine is an Eddie Izzard reference, is yours also?)

I spent $35 for ten gallons yesterday. I just have to be more concious of filling up before the tank is fully gone. In my mind, it feels like I'm spending the same as before but I know in my hear that I'm not.

I bought a hybrid vehicle. Best money I spent, ever. I have the Honda Civic Hybrid.

I decided to spend the money and have my Hyundai converted so it runs off clean-burning kittens and dead baby jokes. The only hitch I've found is occasionally have to scream the, "An erection!" punchline in some seriously awkward moments.
