I'm really scared to go pump my gas, last time i pumped was a week ago at 4.15 a gallon and the price was already like 40.00

Im a little over 1/2 tank and im guessing gas will be around 4.25+ a gallon, All my credit card bills for the past few months has only been gas charges thank goodness the IS gets good mileage

yup Im floating around 65 bucks a tank as well. with gas over 4 n a quarter, and economy bad we taking the hit, while the oilers become even richer.
At least we not in Europe where they charge by liter at about the price of the us gallon or more

Time for you guys to pick up a 4 cylinder. (at least that's what i'm planning to do).

~65 to fill up my IS today. I wonder if it'll ever go back down (i highly doubt it though).

Yea, i see other people's points about gas being more expensive in other countries. Other countries have perks that we dont have, so in the end, it sort of balances out. A lot of other countries have universal healthcare, while im paying close to a grand a month for healthcare for my family. You cant really compare us to other countries. If we were used to paying 2 a gallon, then 3 a gallon, and now 4+ a gallon... its a huge difference. So of course we're going to complain.
