Thumbs down Gas Prices Anyone?

Ok so our other vehicle is a MY04 GMC Yukon XL and before you say anything I know it's not an economy vehicle I know this. It is made to run on low octane so we filled it up today for a grand total of $75.00!!! I see that premium is well over $3.00 a gallon so let me tell you how excited I am to fill up the S! So the base of my point is that we need to stock up on the Astro Glide and grab our ankles because we are gitting F_ _ KED!!

Gas is out of control. We need a new final drive ratio! It's bad when the 7liter vettes get better gas millege!

Out of control is not the words I would use. Get your vaseline in hand and be ready to bend over. Prices went up again last night. I never thought that I would say I was glad to fill up at $3.19/gallon for a total of $32.50. Forcasts say be ready to expect to pay $5.00 by the end of the year.

We've got it easy. Check this out:

$34 fill at $3.39 per gallon today. I was still smilin' because all the other vehicles at the station (except one) were full-size pickups & a couple SUVs.

Very interesting observation, though... The QT next to HWY 70 on TR Hughs -- had half of their pumps labeled as "out of service". Don't know what's up with that
