what are you paying for gas?
Permalink Closed

for some reason, gas prices seem to be going rapidly upward again...i just paid $2.66 for regular!  it really pisses me off, because i drive 180 miles to massachusetts and back practically every weekend lately, and this crap really adds up.

It was $2.82 for regular this morning on my way to work. Wouldn't be surprised if it's higher by the time I come home.

I thought $2.61 was bad!  I just paid $36 for gas and didn't even fill up the whole thing.  My new car uses up way more gas than my old car (RIP Hector, ) and I hate it!  Gas is eating up all my shopping money .

2.90 for premium. I am thinking of switching even though the owners manual recommends premium. I am a girl. As if I can tell the difference in my vehicles perfomance.

Most vehicles will get better gas mileage by using premium only sometimes. You don't have to use it all the time. In some cases the premium can hurt your gas mileage. What kind of car do you drive?


Gas here is at 2.35 a gallon for regular. Of course it just went up since it is time to fill my tank again

DH is an expert in all things vehicle. He says you can switch to regular and it won't really affect your gas mileage. He says if you are worried about your manual telling you to use premium -you should wait until it gets to 1/8 tank of gas then put about 5-6 dollars in. If you drive it and don't hear any ping-ing noise you are fine.


lol a long time ago I would have never expected to know stuff about cars or understand the jargon. But here I am 10 years later on a fashion site, a vehicle question comes up and instantly my mind shifts mode. Even though I knew the answer I still had to check with him to make sure I wasn't giving mis-information lol.

I am paying $2.69 a gallon for regular.  They just did a report on the news that a cheap additive that is used in refining gas will not be allowed anymore (damn epa!!) so the plants will have to start using ethanol this summer which is going to increase the costs of a gallon of gas by at least 15 cents and ruin our cars since you need special tanks to handle the ethanol!!!

He he... My dad is pretty knowlegeable about cars too. He has his own company that makes car parts, so he is always throwing car jargon at me. He tells me to do the 1/8 thing too and about 6 seconds into the convesation he starts to sounding like the adults in Charlie Brown.


I think I may give it a try though. Thanks!

$3.15 for Regular.  Yikes.  I live on an island so everything is always a wee bit more expensive than the main land.
