I hit a new all time high today. I have a 98 Dodge Ram and it took $79 and some change to fill the damn thing up! It will be a sad day when it takes a $100 bill to accomplish the same task! Good thing I gamble else I wouldn't be able to afford to drive! LOL

98 Dodge Ram - that's a nice car!

But I am sure it uses a lot of gas

yeah it doesn't have the greatest gas mileage but gets me where I need to go! I looked at that picture and said how did he get a picture of my truck! LOL Same color but mine isn't an extended cab. 3 to 6 inches of snow here in Southern Indiana today might take it out and go play in the snow!

Sure know what you're talking about. Filled up this morning. A supermarket here has a "fuel perks" program where you get 10 cents off per gallon for every $50 you spend on groceries. I got $1.40 off/gal and it still cost me $36. No wonder the economy is in trouble!!!

Yup, I have a 2002 Tahoe and it eats gas like crazy. Prices will only continue to get worse.

Whenever possible, I steal gas.

It should be free anyway. just a monopoly that the gov. is in cohoots with the oil companies. They all act like they care and want to bring them down. The can but they won't. Hmmm, when oil prices were cheap, it was high and now when opil is over 100 bucks a barrel, its high,

I could write a huge post here to explain how to get gas down but I won't but lets just say in addition to the piece of shit government, if they would end speculation in all of this shit, prices would drop. many people are getting rich off of this but the consumer is the one paying and they have no choice.

vet you drive a huge truck.. and your wife drives.. like a mini sedan is it? heh.

as for gas prices.. i just calculated the conversion.. and we are paying about 4.14 dollars a gallon. crazy stuff.. that obviously isn't the exact amount because of the exchange rate.. but its about par right now.. i think.

$4.14 a gallon ouch!!! She drives a dodge Grande Caravan and I'd be more scared to be hit by that than my Pickup!

LOL I forgot that nightmare. She said it was too small and had to trade it in after driving it 1000 miles. Damn women change their mind and cost me money! Thank God I gamble!
