    And that was at the cheapest local station.

    $4.15 a gallon for regular.

    SUV's may be a gas to drive but ... well, you know.

    I had to drive my roomates 2006 2500HD Duramax diesel and it was nearly out of fuel. I only had $25 in my pocket so I bought that much worth of diesel. At $5.19/ga it didn't even bring me back up to 1/4 tank. :(

    I was averaging 15.2mpg which isn't "bad" for a giant 4wd truck that runs high 13s in the 1/4mile but it is completely rediculous for a daily driver. Which is why he is looking into a Camry hybrid now. lol

    I bought my first $4+/gallon yesterday. $4.19 I think and I needed 9.8 gallons on 513 miles. Dang!

    filled up yesterday after about 2 weeks of driving. I called my dad to look up at gasbuddy on how cheap the gas was at the station I was going to fill up at. It said 4.13, i filled up at 4.19!!!!! It had increased by 6 cents since 3:45 pm earlier (I filled up at around 8:30).
