Chadron NE5/22/08 3:20 PM 3.85/gallon for 91 Octane. ExxonNot sure what the price is at the shell station but 91 is usually 15cents more a gallon at the Shell station.

dang! $4.45 for 91?? I stopped using my Torco for daily driving because it's just too expensive and I drive too much. I have to fill up every 3-4 days so, gotta make some power sacrifices so I can keep costs down a little.

I was looking at the gas temperature map and saw $3.59 in Chicago for 87! Here it's $3.99-$4.09. Certain to go up with considering it's a long weekend.

I filled up our Neon yesterday at $3.79. On my way home, i saw the price had jumped to $3.84. My wife asked me to fill up the Vibe for her today (half-tank), before the price jumps again. Thankfully, school's out, so she doesn't have to drive as much this summer. I plan to start riding my bike to work as soon as I can (14-mile round trip commute).

Here in the mountains of western North Carolina, 'way out in the boondocks where civilization is still a long way off, I paid $3.99 per gallon of regular about two hours ago. Thank goodness, we had the good sense to get a base 5-speed! Oh yes...the MPG figure calculated out to 36.9 mpg. Not too shabby. DC3

OK...Wednesday it was $4.10. Thursday it was $4.17. Friday (today) it was $4.21. So Saturday I'm predicting it will be AT LEAST $4.25?!I filled a little past the 'click' to get an even $41 fill-up. (for 9.718 gallons) oh well. It'll last me 2 weeks. Maybe by the time this tank is used up it'll be five bucks a gallon

Gorda on the California coast: $5.79 for regular. Fortunately I was cycling through and didn't need any hydrocarbons. But the carbohydrate fuel I got there was pretty expensive too.

5-29-08 Speedway, Morse Road S.of Easton Center, Columbus, OH 3.839; [Most stations are 3.959 to 3.999.]Fuel use for Vibe last 22 days, 7 gallons. [T&C mostly sits - probably 2 gal.]I wonder how many more are keeping their tanks full. That's a lot of gas inventory in our gas tanks. [ Even at $1 a gal. I rarely let my tank go under 1/2.]

So far, doing pretty good. My current tank of gas I'm at 24.3 mpg avg. last tank of gas was 23.1 mpg avg (more city). I only saw these kinda numbers in the LGT when I was driving on the hwy. Of course, I think it had something to do with my foot being in it maybe a little more during the brake in period. :lol:Still steady here at $4.19, but over the weekend I did see it for $.10 more at the same station.

It's getting to the point where I'm even jealous of skateboards LOL. But right now a motorcycle is out of the question for us (maybe when we retire and kids are grown) there are just WAY too many potholes in our roads. We'd only fight over who gets to use the motorcycle anyway.
