Damn!

What's reg going for. Here the cheapest I found is 3.79! At least I can run the vette on reg.

Welcome to California where we have the most expensive gas in the country. We're so lucky to have gas that's formulated only for us!

Maybe $4.16 isn't so bad for premium...

A tornado took out my windows in the truck so have been driving the vette all week till it's fixed. It's bad when you are looking forward to getting your crew cab 4x4 pickup back on the road in order to save gas!

Well, it's a little embarrasing to be 40 years old and driving this to work every day but I feel better every time I get gas. I checked my milage last week and it's getting just under 31mpg.

That leaves more $$ to spend on the vette and the jet ski's

Hey Rich - wow that sucks!!! My wife's VW TDI Jetta drinks diesel, so that's been $4 and up for some time. But it also gets 40+MPG

Regular isn't as bad (I buy 87 octane for the pickup), but my '07 Tundra 5.7L can hardly be called an economy truck. Although my work commute is only ~ 7 miles, most of the lakes I fish on the weekends are ~ 100+ miles from the house, so the price of fresh crappie has gone up considerably
