Holy crap - that has to be a pretty penny to fill up.
If they were empty, yeah, it took about 45 minutes to fill each one.

I wasn't paying for it!


When I was driving, my daily fill ups were typically around $125... and that was 35-40 gallons, in a smaller (read: wimpy as hell, slow as shit) truck that was only being driven locally.
