Top off at half a tank or 3/4 that should ease the pain. Or be rebellious and use a gas charge and don't pay the bill at the period...if more people do this this may knock the giants to their knees. It's going to be a costly summer.

Yesterday gas went up about 10 cents a gallon here to $2.69 for regular/mid-grade. No premium available in this town. In the town where I work, premium is $2.85.

Just went up again today to 1.25 per liter for premium. That's 4.75 Gallon now in Good old Bend you over Saskatchewan. I am pushing $90.00 to fill up my stinking car. This is ridiculous.

I paid $2.79 for regular in Austin Texas last night. It cost me $49.25 to fill up my wife's Volvo.
