Damn, gas in the US is cheap!

 

Last time I filled up my car (yesterday) I payed €1 a litre (5.13$ a gallon) and that was just diesel. Normal gas costs 7.25$ a gallon.

 

Note that my tank holds about 45 litres (11.89 gallon) so filling it up costs me $61!

^ Think it's due to no tax on our gas, and tax on your gas.

You are paying more than 40 cents per gallon as far as gasoline taxes go in Michigan, not to mention the cost imbeded to pay the "corporate" taxes for everyone who touches the gas from when its drilled to the time it gets to your car...

Here in Royal Oak, we have 3.15$ a Gallon. Premieum is at I think 3.50$ per gallon.

Yes, Belgian gas taxes are high. But no matter whether the money goes to taxes or to the gas company, I still have to pay that much.

These gas prices are annoying me...Paid $3.35 this morning, got only 5 gallons with $20..As much as I don't support rising gas prices, it's almost unavoidable...Wonder what would happen if everyone decided to boycott driving and use other gasless means of transportation, mainly to show oil companies that we're not up for the rape-age of money.

 

That's why I'm glad I bought a longboard so I can just cruise to and from work and other local places instead of showing off the status of having a car.

Friday, in Terre Haute, paid 3.19. About 14 dollars.

 

Saturday, in Evansville, 2.90, coast 18 dollars

 

Today, in Terre Haute, paid 3.12 (with my discounted cents off at work I had gotten) regurally 3.18. Cost was 18 dollars.

 

On Friday, I drove 5 days without getting gas. Saturday, I stopped halfway on my way home from Holiday World. and todays was the rest of the trip home from Holiday World and some city driving. My car, according to GM, should get 20/28 mpg. Doing Highway driving, I pushed it up to 31 plus, because when I fill I up, I fill it up to the point of almost coming out. So it is usally a extra gallon in from the point of auto shut off. The only thing I have done is a K and N air filter and replaced some worn parts. I am getting a CAI and a muffler, which should push it higher.

 

 

I also, only use the grade up from 87. Mostly 89 sometimes 91.
