| 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.

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. =) >> Stay informed about: first $40 civic fillup |

You know I meant triple digit dollars.
And some SUVs and personal trucks now top $100 per fillup.
Dont even talk about RVs, boats and commercial trucks. >> Stay informed about: first $40 civic fillup |

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. >> Stay informed about: first $40 civic fillup |

In the Chicago area, it can cost over $20 to fill a Suzuki GS850
motorcycle. >> Stay informed about: first $40 civic fillup |

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. >> Stay informed about: first $40 civic fillup |

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. >> Stay informed about: first $40 civic fillup |
