I hit my record high today of almost $67.00. I was feeling sicker and sicker as the ticker crept up, but I know gas around here isn't nearly as high as some other places.

So, how much have you paid to fill up?

It was about $87.

We have a SUV (18 gallon tank) and live in Seattle ($4+ per gallon).

Needless to say we do a lot more walking and errand combining.

I do not commute, so luckily I fill up every 2 to 3 weeks. But I have an SUV and I spend close to $70 each time.

To fill my FIL's Jeep on vacation (from 1/2 full) was around $40. :irked:

$90+ and it's not even a full tank. The pumps cap off at $90.

For REGULAR.
I'm not even kidding.
With prices like this, I'm starting to think I should be getting a "happy ending" with each fill up...

I just hit $50 last week at $3.99. Haven't paid over $4 yet.

I'm glad DH and I both drive sedans.

Record high $63 today - eeeeek! $4/gallon for regular. I already combine trips as much as possible so now I'm actually putting off errands just because I don't want to use up what's in my tank!

Hmm. I guess I shouldn't complain too much. Around here about $70 to fill up, has stayed at $3.74/gallon for about a week now. Of course, now that the fuel light on the van has been flashing for the past day, it will shoot up 50 cents before I can get it to the station.

Well when I lived in Belgium we paid between $6 and $7 a gallon. From what I understand it's closer to $10 a gallon there now.

Here in Dallas it's right below $4 a gallon. We traded in my SUV last summer for a hybrid and haven't looked back. I spend just over $30 every other week.

I spent about $60 to fill my van a couple weeks ago. I need to fill again, and I noticed gas was $3.95 at the place I usually fill up at.

I hit almost 53 at over 4.00 a gallon. i have a rav4. at least i don't commute anymore and work and dd's school are within miles of each other. i fill up about every 1.5 to 2 weeks. so freaking depressing.

I filled about 3/4 of my van tank yesterday and it was $70 - $4.17/gal. That was the cheapest station I knew of. Most of them were $4.22 or $4.25. DH spent $25 at $4.25/gal for about 1/2 a tank for his Wrangler. All regular. Blech...

3.80ish is the highest i've personally paid for 87 octane. In recent days I've seen more and more stations with prices hovering around 3.90 to 4.00 for regular here in NC.

DH drives to a park and ride lot. It only saves a few miles, but he at least drives a Corolla that gets about 35mpg. I rarely drive during the week, and we consolidate most of our errands into one day during the weekend.

Does anyone ever check www.gasbuddy.com? You type in your zip code and it tells you the best gas prices in your area. My husband checked it regularly even before the crazy gas prices started! My usual gas station was at $3.97 today - I paid $3.99 last weekend. Maybe I should go top off my tank before it goes up again!

I live in Alberta, a major oil and gas producing province in Canada, and we pay about $4.95 per gallon (in Canada we go by litres and pay $1.30/litre - roughly 3.8 litres to a gallon). Talk about OUCH! :(
