This Sucks!!

chitown alex · 05-30-2008

Today I went and filled my 04' V6 (with premium of course) and I still couldn't fill her up with $110 dollars worth. We have the highest gas prices in the nation here in Chicago. I just paid $4.85 a gallon and I just can't wait for the summer time prices to get here. How is this affecting the rest of you?

I feel your pain brother...$5.51 a gallon back here in Nova Scotia Canada...

US $6.88 a gallon (1 US gallon = 3.785 litres) here in NZ, buts its OK.... since we on average earn about half what we would in the US.... So in terms of spending power, think its equiv to $10-12.... AAAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

2 V8's in the garage, not the smartest move

You should try Diesel.
In Sydney Australia I am paying $1.85 (aust) per litre, now that equals $6.72 (US) a gallon where unleaded patrol is going for $1.45 (aust) per litre ($5.27 USD a gallon).

Mind you I do get better econony that patrol with a tank of 100 litres (26.4 gallons) getting me over 1000kms (621 miles).

I don't think fuel prices are going to fall especially for America. You'll get used to it after a while.

I think $120/barrel is here to stay as well....

Did I see in the owner's manual that you can also use regular gas?
