I don't really care about gas prices. In Europe (I live in Belgium), they're even alot higher, and still I drove a big Dodge Ram and I plan on getting a hummer h2. If you love the vehicle enough, you'll get it, and pay for the gas. You're also gettin' alot for the gas !!! A huge, powerful, strong, safe, wonderful piece of USA machinery !!

THe thing that irritates me most about the rising fuel prices is that most of the gas stations around here have a $60 limit when you pay at the pump, so if you are on empty, you have to run the card twice....
raise the Fricken limit already.....

Most around here have the $60 limit as well. Some even have it set at $50. Should be raising the limit based on the increased price per gallon.

Around here most of the stations are set to a max of $50. I avoid those stations because it is such a PITA to have to run your card twice.

Gas prices are much higher here in Canada eh and I still fill up with Supreme 94 Octane eh.

I make alot of people laugh because I put on my "About to cry quivering face" as I'm filling up.

Dennis, just curious--was that 94 octane for your Hummer. If so, why are you using premium?

In the big picture I am paying 30 bucks more a tank compared to when I bought my H2. 30 bucks = 2 Jack and Cokes in South Beach. Both are money well spent. Now if I could just stop at two drinks I could really save some money....
