first $40 civic fillup
I was flirting with danger this week and procrastinated until
the yellow empty light. Then the 10.5 gallons shocked me even more at $40 dollars. Not too many years ago $40 would last a whole month. It could be worse - some people are seeing triple digit prices on their fillups. |

I always fill up on Sundays when I get back for the weekend. Decrease sticker shock. But I always get a four-digit price, like $38.23. I always pay by credit card, so I don't add a few thousands of a gallon to get to the next dollar (what do I care? The credit card company adds it up for me). I guess the only people who get triple digit fill-ups are people with lawnmowers and motorcycles and other small engines. Jeff |

Not too many years ago $40 would last a whole month. I've been hitting about $39.50 the last few fillups. Only a matter of weeks before I exceed the $40 barrier. =( Then again, most other car owners would be jealous of a $40 fillup. =) |

Datrmouth , Nova Scotia . $1.34 a litre. = $5.06 U,S. gallon. |

Anyone here use a cash back credit card to help offset gas costs? The 5% cash back gas card from Pentagon Federal Credit Union looks like the best (non-promotional) deal. Chase BP Visa offers 5%, but only at BP locations. I currently use Chase Freedom with 3% cash back. |

I filled up my 04 Accord for $56, then added another $48 filling up the gas cans for the lawn equipment. Just about $104 fill up. The fill up for the Accord lasts me about 3 weeks, just about the same for the lawn equipment. |

Takes $65.00 to fill my wife's 03 Pilot -- when the fuel warning light comes on. From what I can see, the new Pilots don't do that much better on mpg either. |
