OMG!! It cost me $109.00 to fill my truck this morning! It was $3.74 and it's supposed to go up to $4.00 soon. I don't know how they expect people to get by like this. It sets us back a little but we can still manage. It just makes me so mad to know that these companies are getting rich while making others poor.

Gas is up to $4.05 a gallon here today. I just spent $45.50 to fill up the van and it was half-full. Sigh. I think we're going to have to increase our weekly budget.

It is frustrating. I today redid our budget and increased our weekly gas allowance to cover for the extra. Thankfully we currently have the wiggle room to do so but I don't know when that wiggle room is going to close-in on us . . .

I never fill up my tank to the top. I'm scared to see the total $$$. I pay about $3.75 a gallon.

It's $3.99 here, I'll have to fill up from a 1/4 tank tonight or tomorrow morning. I'm glad I don't drive much anymore.

Last week we filled up at $3.45 when we lucked up on an out of the way station. We don't need gas again yet, but the best price I saw today was $3.59.

Gas is 3.99 TODAY in my town. I say that, because it will probably be over $4 tommorrow. I know other towns nearby already see $4. I put $74 in my minivan last week and I only got 3/4 full!
