Our 1990 Toyota Camry Station Wagon required just over $40 to fill up this week. What the fuck, people?

Actually, we splurged TODAY and bought this car:  http://automobiles.honda.com/fit/exterior-photos.aspx

Gets better mileage than many hybrids.

I don't know yet. I have a Hybrid. A full tank lasts a month.

I've been riding my bike. I bought my dad's 1993 Buick last summer, $70CAD for a full tank. I travel for work often, so the car stays parked most of the time. I haven't filled up the tank in over a month.

I think we're at like $4.17 in my neighborhood.  Last time it was like $53 to fill up my tank.

I just had the privilege of paying $4.19 a gallon to fill up the entire 15 gallon tank of my old Chrysler sedan last week, which ended up being north of $60. There was another gas station across the street that was selling for $4.07, but the cars were lined up 5-deep for every pump, I was on my way to work, and the $4.19 place was completely empty. It was actually kind of funny.
I'm warning you with peace and love.

I don't remember how much a whole tank costs but I get 34+ miles per gallon so I'm not too unhappy!

that's good.  i get approx 34mpg myself...but go through gas like crazy.  its annoying.  im constantly having to run errands, etc. and phoenix has no interest in building their city up rather than out

it makes for a bad situation, like now.

More importantly, what are you paying for sandwiches?

Today I blew $8 on a sandwich that had (1) some not so great moozadel (2) some basil (3) some unfresh tomato (4) some oil.  I'm still annoyed.

I hate how the pronunciation of mozzarella has gotten completely out of control by people who want to prove what a foodie they are.  when did it turn into mootsallel?
