Went to the servo to fill up, and put in more petrol and gas (LPG) (in $ value) than it would cost to run my GTS for SIX FRIGGING MONTHS!!!!!!! Anyone want to donate, I'd be most appreciative of your contribution.

It is pretty amazing watching the prices climb. I stuck over $92 into my Ford Taurus this last week. It just seems wrong!

UTC quote

A convenience store clerk and a friend of his were talking about gas prices when I went in to buy some snacks last week. I asked the clerk what was the most a customer had paid recently.

He said he had a guy in a U-Haul moving truck put $318 in the tank!

I think if you spend over $100, the convenience store should give you a free soda. External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text
