I don't feel bad for me as far as gas prices I feel bad for the people that drive hundreds of miles a day.

Me too.

When I was still working for a living, my daily commute was at least 120 miles per day, sometimes as high as 240 miles per day, round trip.

I certainly wouldn't be able to afford to drive my truck all that way, so until I retired, I always drove 4 cylinder beaters.

But even back then (10 years), I was using anywhere from 75$-150$ per week for fuel costs. Had to fill the tank ever other day.

Today, fuel in Danxville is 3.84$ for unleaded. Up 50 cents in a week.

To be honest, I've stopped paying attention to what fuel prices are. I need it, I stop, fill the truck up, and pay for it. I also budget my fuel and plan my errands and shopping as efficiently as possible so I'm not running across town multiple times if I can help it.

Name brand, 87 octane gas now up to $4.159 cash / $4.259 credit card.

I dare not look what they are asking for premium.

Up untill the end of the year when I retired I was driving a hundred miles a day on my work commute. A few year's back when gas hit $4 buck's a gallon I was spending $24 buck's a day for gas. I don't miss that!

$3.65 today in southern MA. Fortunately I drive a civic for my commute. It would be almost $500 per month if I drove my truck.

Yeah, since my Camry's been down and I've been driving the truck all the time that $500 per month sounds about right.

Filled up today @3.55$ per gallon. St. Louis, MO

Yea, the messed up part is actually getting another car is so much cheaper than putting fuel in the truck haha. What a shame

It just went up to 1.319 a litre and it says we will see gas prices equal to 6 bucks a gallon this summer. Not looking forward to that...
