Unhappy Ouch!!!

Well, after driving my truck with less than five gallons of gas for the last week or so, I finally got paid today. I have the chip so I put in the premium Amoco around here. Needless to say, I had my first $40+ fill up. Prices are at $1.93 per gallon for premium and I put in about 22 gallons...she was thirsty. I might have to take the chip out if it stays this way... NOOOOOOO!!!!!
