I feel you, man I don't even fill up my CL anymore. I put 40 dollars in the tank and pray I don't have to fill up again before I drive it next weekend.

Yeah, I am definitely hating the $65 fill-up, just did it about 20 minutes ago.

I thought Jersey had some of the cheapest gas these days, how much per gallon? I forgot it was illegal to pump your own gas up there, that must be annoying. Have you ever had the pump guy get your paint with the nozzle yet?

The gas price is really killing us. Can't afford to drive the gs400 as much as I would have liked. Kept my 2000 Civic Hatch and I was lucky to keep it since I drive this to work most of the Time 30 to 35mpg.

We all have to re-educate. Gas prices will not go down. We have to find fuel alternatives. Like LPG (propane)... its $220 gallon here and the conversion is about $1300. Meet a guy that was economizing $30 on each refill. (from $70 to $40) Also the HHO; run your car with water is not a dream: it works but I think is not ironed yet.
Our cars were made when the gas was cheap. We will have to buy more gas efficient cars or wait 4-6 years when electric becomes available in the market.
Now and in the years to come having a V-8 car will be a luxury for richs.
Anyway today 4 cyl cars have enough power to beat the stock V8 or run very close.

This is just the begining they say gas prices will be between 5 and 6 dollars a gallon by mid summer so glad I bought my integra. Everyone should just stop buying gas for one day, see how fast prices drop.

Yup. We ALLLLL feel you on this one. $4.50 was the price for me this morning. Just like soakgame, I like to see 20$ on the meter rather than $70 so I fill up every other day. =(

I've been using "super", its like 4.01 a gallon right now in my part of NJ. Funny you asked, the last time the guy totally missed my gas tank and drag it across my rear panel, surprisingly there was not even a scratch! I was in shock and his stupidity amazed me. I would have killed him, drenched him in gasoline and proceeded to light him on fire - oh yeah in the nicest way possible
