dude, $2.19 a gallon?

did you put in regular? and do you carry around a gas can?!

Out here in Diego regular is around $2.35 and premium is up around $2.55-2.60! And that is lower than it has been.

Why do we get ripped off on gas?

When I lived in Del Mar I once paid $2.79!
But here in AZ I paid $2.19 and now gas is about the same for 91 octane (premium)

I don't carry around a gas can....part of me wanted to see how far I could push the Z> I found out

isn't it bad for your car to be running on fumes for so many miles?

Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer test drove a car and wanted to see how far he would go on empty. Haha, you are brave.

It's about that in som parts of Md too. A place called Wawa has it for $1.93. Its not constant.

When I was deployed, I paid (for my unit) $20 for three 55 Gal drums from a refinery. I didnt have change. LOL

I paid $1.83 for premium (93) here in Dallas today.

I would not run a car empty that has the fuel pump in the tank. It uses the fuel to cool the pump. I know of several people who have burnt up the pump that way.
