I haven't fueled up the Honda in a few weeks, so it was only about $3.50 or so last time. Regular is just over $4 now. Definitely praying for Ukraine! Our gas prices suck, but their situation is far worse.

FYI, the new gas pumps are in at Deals Gap; they have premium 100% gasoline only. Weekend of 3/26, price was $4.99/gallon.

OK... you have a car that takes premium....

Are you going to sit at home, and not drive the S2000 due to the cost?

Or, are you going to head out, and meet up with new or existing friends and have a great weekend?

Just a quick gas calc....

1500 miles
20 mpg
75 gallons

So.... at an extra buck a gallon... will cost you $75 bucks....

You going to sit at home, and miss out a great weekend?

When's the last time you ate out at a nice restaurant? What did it cost you?

Bet you spent more than a weekend of gas!

Just my $.02!

I was over in Pt. Huron, MI today where super duper fuel was as high as $4.99.

So from Pt. Edward, ON to Fontana is about 600 miles (about 2 tanks). at 29 MPG on the highway, it will take me about $200 USD in fuel just to get there and back.

But I do so love to burn recycled dinosaurs!
