$30 to fill up from just under 1/3 tank of fuel the other day. I've never spent that much on fuel before that I can remember.

Quote, originally posted by Mavrik Â»$30 to fill up from just under 1/3 tank of fuel the other day.Doesn't that make you want to go out and buy that new fully loaded $35,000 SUV that gets 20 mpg or that 3/4 ton extended cab pickup that gets 12 mpg.

2.89 for regular unleaded here. This was one of the deciding factors for me getting a Vibe. I was looking at either the Vibe/Matrix or a Nissan Crew Cab. 16 mpg to 20 mpg on the Nissan made me go for the Vibe.

Ya know, if GM doesn't get the picture here and start pushing the Vibe, then they deserve to go down. Sheesh.I'll be filling up this afternoon...guessing it'll be over $2.90 by the time I get to the pump...

$3.15 for 93 yesterday morning. I'm going to take up biking!!

The other night I went to an ARCO. ARCO's are cash only stations so I actually had to make human contact for my change and go see the attendant. The woman in front of me was actually paying with dimes and pennies! 5 dimes and 98 pennies for a grand total $1.48 on pump #3. At $3.09/gal, that totals a whopping 0.48 gallons. After I got my change and walked out, I checked to see what she was driving...a late 70s Chevy LUV. So, if she somehow was able to get 15 miles out of a gallon, that would get her 7 miles.

joholste · Post by **joholste** » Tue Apr 25, 2006 7:53 am

yup i'm looking at 2.89/ gal now

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 7:02 pm

*bump!* $2.99 now in most places... Although I scored bigtime with $2.79, got there before they changed the price up like everybody around them. lol!Figured this would be good for a bump since we're approaching a holiday to see how those oil companies are stickin' it to us...

slvrvibes · Post by **slvrvibes** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 10:43 pm

2.89 today, 6-28. I should have filled up yesterday when it was 2.81. Oh well.

$2.90 for premium 91, northern colorado

808 Vibes · Post by **808 Vibes** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 3:30 pm

That's nothing guys and gals....it varies between cities and islands here.$3.39 a gallon for 92 octane in Makakilo, HI (where I live-FAR FROM TOWN). IN TOWN, it is between $3.46 to $3.51 a gallon for 92 octane.

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 7:39 pm

Yikes, that's kinda rotten! $3.51 is a wee bit expensive. Especially when you're probably spending out the wazoo on everything else too. Go get a pizza, a soda, and fill the tank up and you're probably getting close to $100. Ahh, living in paradise comes at a price eh?

tnpartsguy · Post by **tnpartsguy** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 3:35 am

Regular was $2.63 a gallon yesterday....TODAY it's $2.80, and going up by the HOUR!!!!

PolarVrtX · Post by **PolarVrtX** » Sat Jul 01, 2006 4:37 am

It's $3.13 here today... and the gas stations are advertising it as a "gas sale" in big red letters. Last week it was $3.09 on the weekend

zionzr2 · Post by **zionzr2** » Sat Jul 01, 2006 4:44 am

it probably went up a tad for the holiday weekend...I hope there arnt any big gulf hurricanes anytime soon...

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 3:23 pm

Yippie, it was $2.98 right before the 4th, then dropped to $2.92 before yesterday, which thankfully is what I ended up filling the tank at.Right now: $3.08.

SeattleJeremy · Post by **SeattleJeremy** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 9:56 am

I paid $3.11 for 11gallons of 87 today. For 350 miles. About 31mpg.At least thats better than $3.35 for 13.5 gallons of premium. For 300 miles. About 22mpg Which is what my WRX would have cost me. Bonus the Vibes Break in period is now over

schroeder · Post by **schroeder** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 10:37 am

Chicago reg. 87 was $3.29.Went over the 4th of July Holiday.830 mile round trip avg. 32.5 mpg.With the a/c on of course.06 Matrix 2wd Automatic

AZViking · Post by **AZViking** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 12:57 pm

Just filled up at Sam's Club for 2.85/gallon. As I was finishing up, a guy at the next pump starts asking me what kind of mileage I get with the Vibe. (We average 30mpg with our automatic) He said he was looking at a used Vibe and wanted to find something to replace his +200,000 mile Honda. I didn't have time to give him the info about genvibe.com (cranky 2 month old in the backseat) Just thought I'd share.

Viberrrr · Post by **Viberrrr** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 9:40 pm

I don't know if this counts but this week I did pay $1.23/litre for premium for my Harley. Thats roughly 5 bucks a gallon. This was up on the Canadian side of Lake Superior and regular was $1.16-$1.18/litre. The cheapest I saw was $96.3/litre in Bellevelle Ont. Saw a ton of Vibes and Matrixs up there and even a Fusion Vibe in this little tiny town in the middle of nowhere. Way cool.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 12:59 am

Gas is $1.99 here today at the Marathon in Oxford, apparently...I didn't go down there myself (already got a full tank) but that's what I was told. GasPriceWatch.com has us listed as the lowest in the country.

ZubenElGenubi · Post by **ZubenElGenubi** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 12:36 am

I paid $2.209 with a 10Â¢ discount at Kroger last weekend. My wife paid $2.269 yesterday w/ no discount. Lowest prices since mid-March.

$2.11 here today. Hope it keeps sinking

redlava · Post by **redlava** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 12:35 pm

It is $2.19 in Omaha. Don't know if we will see it fall below 2 bucks or not, but we can hope. It feels good to be able to fill my car up for $25 again, it has been a while. In the last month it would go down like $.02 every other day. Is that pathetic or what? 5 years ago we were screaming because gas was $2, now it is fantastic. Hate to see it in five more years. $4.00 might be looking good.

zionzr2 · Post by **zionzr2** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 2:28 am

Well I just paid 2.46 today last fill was about a month ago and was 2.99 and before that was 3.199 the first weekend of august.Now the question is how low will we go before going back up to a another record high?

new05vibeowner · Post by **new05vibeowner** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 8:44 am

Paid 2.09 today, while several stations across town were in a price war at 1.99.I NEVER thought I'd think 1.99 was a deal, but we've been conditioned so well by the oil companies that most would wait in line to buy gas that inexpensive.

Here, here..... I too told my wife that we, (the American public) would be giddy to see gas prices at $2 per gallon. We've all been brainwashed to think that these prices are something to get excited about.I'm 41 years old, have an '04 Vibe, a BEAUTIFUL '91 240sx, an '04 Honda Pilot (gas guzzler at 16mpg city) and a 18 ft. ski boat. Gas prices definately impact my pocketbook and I'm thankful they've come down close to $2 bucks, but I still remember about 6 years ago when they were half of that!!! Guess I'm starting to sound like an old fart

People are just talking about what they paid for gas and the occasional "this sucks" or "this is fricken great, I paid less than two bucks!"If people need to fight about gas prices and the politics that go along with them, go to the asylum and start a new thread.
