Well... I probably would care if I burned through a ton of it, but I don't commute or anything, I burn like 25 tanks a year... I spend more money on beer and would cut down on that before driving.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 10:03 pmhow no one cares about $4 + gas anymoreD Griff wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 9:57 pm Regular is about $2.699 in my area currently, you can drive to South Carolina and save about $0.20 per gallon. Premium is way more though, like $3.499. It costs about $50 to fill up the now, really. I voted $7, as I think once it was $100 to fill up, I'd think about drives a little bit more.

How do you get around ? My average weekend is 200 miles visiting friends and fam and doing shit. Commuting is only 1/4 of the miles I drive
Just travel a ton, I'm probably only home 30 weekends a year or something... maybe I use 30 tanks, but doubt it. I do a lot on weekends, but it's often with the gf, so her car gets some of the miles too. I should fuelly to keep track but it seems like I fill up every other weekend on average. Certainly some weekends I'll use a tank or two if doing day trips to the mountains or something, but I don't really take my car on longer trips.
I probably pump another 10-20 tanks into rental vehicles each year though... in Ireland, that hurt, it was more to fill up the three cylinder Seat than my .

Fuel costs don't really factor into my purchase decisions due to how few miles I drive.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 10:03 pmhow no one cares about $4 + gas anymoreD Griff wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 9:57 pm Regular is about $2.699 in my area currently, you can drive to South Carolina and save about $0.20 per gallon.

The car just broke 7k miles... It'll be 2 years old in November.

I drive through a shitty neighborhood in Chester (Philly suburb) every day that has a Citgo gas station a half mile from the bridge back into NJ. I just noticed today fuel was $4.99 for regular and $6.49 for premium.
Explains why I haven’t seen a car fill up there for weeks.

That's gotta be a mistake, no?

probably the location/convenience aspect. They can charge what they want (within reason) and we can choose not to pay.wap wrote: ↑Fri Jul 13, 2018 10:56 amfledonfoot wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 10:57 pm I drive through a shitty neighborhood in Chester (Philly suburb) every day that has a Citgo gas station a half mile from the bridge back into NJ.

That being said if it’s by bridges it might be paying taxes for different levels of authorities?

The premium markup in the Midwest is massive rape.

Yea I don't understand it at all.... I guess if you want your car to "drink" only the best gas you better fill-erup with your trust fund.

We're between $0.5 and $0.8 here. It's ridiculous. I remember when it was a $0.2 spread.

Well, I think it's because they know they can charge it. If you're buying premium, you'll pay whatever because either your car requires it (like mine) or you're a and just

Everyone has to buy regular, only morans and rich people buy cars which require premium.

Why not raise regular to $5 then... that logic makes little sense.
