Gas prices....3.49.9
Just paid a record (for me) amount for a tank of gas....$54.95 and it really wasn't on empty. Between 1/8 and 1/4. Glad I can afford it. End of rant.
Update as of 2:36 today.....oil prices fall. WTI-70.26 down 3.85
Brent --73.18 down 5.68
Biggest drop this year.
Closing prices are still adjusting.

I'm around $75 to avoid a complete fill (sometimes gas gauge goes wonky). That was before the latest increase.

Get over it. If you lived anywhere else you would dig a lot deeper for a tank of gas. Consider California, Europe, and Canada and you will feel better about the bargain you just got!

We live in a major city so we only really drive to leave the city (or spirited drives in the C5Z on my favorite park circuit within the city).
It's mostly walking, bicycle, motorcycle, public transportation, and Uber for us - we save a ton of money each year not having to pay for gas and all the extra car maintenance.

Most stations around her are charging $3.79 for 92 octane premium. But WA has some of the highest gas taxes in the country.
Wonder if we're gonna see $4.00/gal before the summer is over??

I was buying groceries a few years ago. Lady at till "these nectarines work out to around $1 each, you still want them?" "People have no problem paying a dollar for a chocolate bar, I like nectarines and they're healthy, yes I still want them."

No. Not personally, but it's good for the oil companies and my portfolio. And now that they are exporting more oil, gas prices will rise even more.. Then watch the prices rise.
It's all so predictable. Gas prices drop and everyone starts driving trucks and SUVs. Hell, Ford is going to stop making cars(except for the Mustang). Then gas will get so high, people will start buying Prius' again. The cycle never stops.

People actually pay attention to the cost when filling up?
