Ugh, I WISH I could fill up at the prices you guys are paying! The cheapest I've paid for gas in the past 6 months is $3.39/gal - it's usually about $3.50+ in my neck of the woods...

I fill up mines when I reach half a tank. Well, today my tank was a 1/4 left so I filled it up today. Cost me around $40. .

I wait until the gas prices hit the bottom of the current price cycle/fluctuation, and fill up then. Whenever that happens to be. No sense giving them more money than I have to.

Hello all - sorry to say but you've got it easy over in the US - I'm in the UK and my IS220d costs around £60 to fill up from empty. For diesel, the price is around a pound a litre... This equates to around $7.10 a gallon....

Expensive "everything" is one of the privileges of living in California.

so what happens when you need gas and its at the top of the "price cycle/fluctuation"? do you just not drive?

"sorry baby, I can't come pick you up for our date because the price cycle is all wrong"

seriously though, I'm curious about the cycle thing because I notice gas prices change alot during the week...

You can't look at how its affecting us solely by the dollar figure. You must look at the percent increase for the same fuel in a relatively short period of time, and how it has bearing on the consumer/economy, especially when we don't have the most fuel efficient vehicles on the market to cope with the burden. Its all relative, but a 50+% increase in your fuel prices (or anywhere actually), would outrage quite a few people just as well.

That's really cheap price for 91. I can't find anything below 3.50 for 91 up here (close to northridge).
