I don't know if anybody else is doing this, my be a moot point by now but:

I was fueling my vehicle yesterday, and I sudddenly realized that my thinking on putting gas in the car had changed..

Whereas I used to think, "OK, I'm going to put $25.00 worth of gas in the car" Now I'm thinking in gallons and tank capacity. For instance..."OK, $25.00 wiill give me 6 gallons, and I have a 13 gal tank"

Used to be that putting $5.00 in the car gave you a good amount of gas.

I still think of the dollar amount I want to put in.But its more than doubled.Total B/S.

What about the gas can for the mower ~ what used to be $5.00 is now $20.00!!

Wow...$20 for the mower? My old mower itself cost $20!

yeah, 2 cans of gas and top off my truck = $130

Phew I feel your pain ~ I fill my truck at a 1/2-tank now and that’s still $70.
I noticed this week the price went DOWN 4-cents/gal. . .

nice, it went down 10 cents last week, but shot right back up to $3.89 yesterday

SCREW THE OIL COMPANIES!! I only put $25.00 of gas per week. Also it might help that your job is only six miles away. So why should I help the corrupt fat oil companies to make more money to put in for the fat CEOs pockets!!!

$20, geez, you can buy a goat for $20.

In NJ, we have issues with gas stations charging 8-15 cents more a gallon just for using a credit card. There is one place I go to sometimes because gas has been steady at $3.84 a gallon but it is cash only.

I filled the gas cans for the lawn equipment, it cost $30. for about 7.5 gals., it's getting so I might not cut my gr*** so often!

Nowadays, I just try to stop the pump at $100.00 even...
