100$ fill up

[Buckmaster7600]

For the first time in a long time I cost me 100$ to fill my truck today. Anyone considering adding a gas saver to the stable?

Understatement of the year right there.

I drive a small car back and forth to work but im off for the next 10 weeks . I have noticed the prices on the pump are going up . We can thank the mouth breathers who let the media think for them for this.

Upgraded my truck in January. It gets maybe 5 more miles per gallon than the last one but it’s still not great at 17.5 mpg’s. I just don’t see the cost benefit of running a second fuel efficient vehicle by the time you pay for it and insurance.

It’s a suck it up and take it on the chin situation.

My f350 6.2 get 9mpg around town towing my landscape trailer and mowers or not. 

Already informed my clients their price is going up for lawn care.  Most are $10, but the larger properties are going up $25.

100 bucks what you driving. I have a Tahoe to fill it up was $65...........

I picked up a 34 mpg 4 cyl, Chevy equinox last year as my daily driver, so high gas prices dont hurt me that bad.  It is the fwd version, cost $1400 less than the awd version and gets 2 more mpg.

My old 14 mpg Chevy Silverado  3/4 ton pickup will likely spend most of its time in the barn until the Republicans take over again in 4 years.

Since our new "President" took office two and a half months ago. Gas has gone up more than a dollar a gallon! At this rate we'll be paying six dollars a gallon by this time next year!!! 

Hope all that voted for him smile every time they fill up!!!

Keep dreaming.  Sadly we'll never again see a republican president.

Steel is crazy ,I had an estimate for a steel garage in Jan ,$15k to install ,that was with 4 garage doors and to be installed .called the company back ,they want $29k for the same building ,ans just to frame out 3 doors ,doors not included .

Wouldn’t own a truck without a big tank!

I never let it get below half but I’ve been quarantined so I’ve been driving from my house to my woodlot and a couple shed hunting trips up north so she was below E!

That's been going on for a year. 

I bought 200 sheets of 7/16 osb for $6.50 each last feb. Just because it was cheap and I needed 50 for a job,but never did use them last summer.

I sold 150 for 23 each last month. I wish I had bought 1k.

My truck gets 11mpg , I have my wifes old pilot for my daily driver . Gas will be over 3 bucks for sure by memorial day. 

[dbHunterNY]

Have the wife's small suv that gets about 30mpg. New truck is pretty good at around 20mpg. Miss the 2019 jetta the suv replaced as it got 50mpg if I drove it right.

I gas up at Costco and that was still holding around 2.70 a gallon. I still make it a point to “talk to myself” loudly enough for my pump
neighbors to hear. “Wow, not long ago we were paying $2.05! I wonder What changed?” I can always tell the Republicans who shake their heads and nod.

I drive 60 miles round trip for work , we switched to 4 - 10hr days beginning  of covid so that helps cut a day off . So right now I rotate between wife’s old Camry  30mpg and my f150 17.8 mpg. When gas hits $3 I’ll drive the Camry full time..

Yep bought a 2012 ford fusion 3 months ago in cash.  Put basic coverage on my old truck since I dont drive it much now but weekend chores full on my car. Insurance went up maybe $15 and I'm saving about 100 in gas a month already.  I use the car for taking kids to practice and everything else now.  Very happy I bought it

I spent $100 the other day and got 10 2x4s.  Crazy. Was going to redo my deck this year but gonna wait and see if prices come down a little. Plus I have several big house projects this year.  But hard to believe one pressure treated 2x4 is $10.
