I've been paying well over $4 in San Diego for the past few weeks, but I've never broken $70 until last night.

Something about hitting $70 just slapped me in the face. It's time to start driving like a grandma, if that is what is going to get me 20+ mpg. I used to average 16 mpg, but I've been easing off the pedal lately and have gotten 21 mpg the last two times I've filled up. No changes, other than driving habits, were made.

For which car? The most I've spent on gas for the G was $78... not bad at all.

Last week it cost me $57 bux to fill up, but that was last week and gas $ have gone up signficantly in that short time. Yeah it sure blows...so far i've been able to get 23 mpg last fill up. Driving like a grandma suxs, but during times like this its a must.

Here's a cool site I came across.

It's $3.55 here. I don't even pay attention to how much it costs, because it's depressing. But I average 20-21mpg.

Somewhere in the realm of $300... had to pay cash because the pump will shut off after you go over a certain amount.

Was filling up my uncle's delivery truck... diesel....
