How much do you pay for gas? (in your car)



Recommended Posts

$2.83 a gallon for 10% ethanol grade

$2.87 a gallon for reg. unleaded

$1.90 a gallon for E-85

It takes about $40 to fill up my PT Cruiser here in S.E. South Dakota.

I am in Spring Texas. I drive a Chrysler Pacifica. THANK GOODNESS I ride a vanpool to and from work !!!!!!!!!

Filling my 21 gallon tank is almost $60. If I were driving to and from work, I would be filling my car at least twice a week. But due to the vanpool I only have to fill up once a week, and my tanks not even empty when I do fill it up!

Gas prices are too (WAY TOO) high.

Anywhere from $279-$2.86 her e in Anchorage. Took me $52 to fill up me Dodge Durango. I have to fill up about every 3.5 weeks, luckily I live real close to my work. My DH pickup takes even more then that and he has to fill up about every 2 weeks.

In The Woodlands, Texas last Thurday it cost me almost $40 to fill up my Mini Cooper. That was a shocker! I have to use the highest octaine - Super Premium. I think it was $3.19 a gallon.

We're about $2.69. It took just over $70 to fill up DH's truck this weekend.

I should add, the in-laws are paying about $7.80 per gallon, so you'll hear no complaints from me! :eekB:

We stopped yesterday to get gas for my husband's Lincoln Navigator. I wasn't paying attention, but when he got in he said "that wasn't bad only $40." I said "Well you must have already had half a tank before you filled up." He said "Yes I did!" He can't pull a fast one over me very often. I know his tank is twice as big as my Mini!

Wheetsin, where are they paying that much?

$2.99 here in Fort Worth - it cost $45 to fill up the Accord! More than I just spent on 2 weeks worth of groceries for myself (thanks, LapBand!).

Here in Tampa it ranges from about $2.85 to about $3.15 for regular unleaded. It costs me approx $75-80 to fill up the van. But amazingly enough I get about 29 miles to the gallon in that thing so thankfully it lasts me a good long time.

Where I live in south Texas we average about $2.89 for regular. Sucks....oh well.

Did anyone hear that cigarettes are going up a dollar in September? I think it might be just in Texas. Ours average around $3.20 a pack here. I will definitely quit if they do!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
