I paid 3.99-9 for regular today and am now in the set of old people obsessed with gasoline prices

Yeah I don't get the gas price obsession either, especially when you got the pujolswrox babe thread and all that porn out there for free.

that part that pisses me off the most is not being able to fill up my truck anymore in one transaction since most pumps cut off at $75...and i'm not going to sit around and run another transaction, which means i'll just keep going around with 3/4 of a tank of gas.

I am late to the party in this thread, but this from the very first post cracked me up for some reason:

they watch cable news (often FoxNews) and always leave it on full blast.

If you buy something in the grocery store, you get a discount on gas (usually three cents a gallon, but I've seen them do as much as 20 cents a gallon). My family would obviously take advantage of it if we were going grocery shopping, but there would be times where my dad would buy a pack of gum in the supermarket just to get three cents a gallon off. Even on an empty tank for his Silverado, I don't think he ever saved enough to offset the cost of the gum.

The big grocery store chain up here (Price Chopper) has an agreement with Sunoco stations, so if you have a "Fuel Advant-edge" card, for every $50 you spend on groceries you get $0.10 off per gallon. No limit to how much you save, 20 gallon maximum. Since the amount you've saved per gallon is tracked electronically, you can keep banking it up after several trips to the gas station.

My Audi will usually go about 3 weeks on a single tank, so it lets me buy groceries 1-2x in between fill-ups and usually get $0.20 or maybe $0.30 off per gallon. When you're stuck putting in 91 octane (when 87 octane is still $3.70 a gallon), it lets me get the good stuff for the price of the cheap stuff.

a little extra hop in the step. Thanks Obama

I saw 1.67 p/g the other day. It takes under 30 to fill our tank

I thought by not fast tracking the Keystone pipeline Obama had doomed us to high gas prices as a secret Agenda 21 conspiracy to confiscate our cars.

I remember being a kid and wondering what the big deal with gas prices was. If my dad wanted $10 worth of gas he got $10 worth of gas.

Was hoping for super-cheap air fare out of this, but apparently the demand for flights is up, so the ticket prices are remaining steady.

when i first started driving it was stll like, 80 cents a gallon. then it just went up and up and up
