I think it was probably a typo - and she meant -
Filled?
or TOPPED

went up to $ 1.33 today....very high. Costs us about $250.00 a week to use the van. We could do with a little bit of saving but we go where we have to when we have to. We even use the van to get to some nice trails to run the dogs and we still enjoy riding for the enjoyment of it.

In France one litre is 1.5 €, which is 2.25 $. As 1 gallon is 3.78 litres (if I am correct), then it would be ....8.5 $!!!!!!

I think this price is about the same in many European countries.

reached 1,5 euro here a few days ago. So, that would be 5,67 euro a gallon. According to XE.com (currency exchange website) that would be $8.86 a gallon here in Italy. The stuff just keeps going up and up.

S.E. Michigan - up to $4.15 this afternoon.

We bought a new car last week - Ford Fusion. Sticker said average for in-town is 20/mpg and 28 on the highway.

We went down to Findlay, Ohio for the Pet Talk gathering on Sunday. About 230 miles round trip. We got 35 MPH - needless to say, I am very happy. That's about 15 miles more to the gallon than with our old Explorer.

I guess we are not having it as tough as the Brits, i heard today they are paying about 3.15 a litre, and it takes a truckie to fill up his truck 160 pounds day, they had a huge protest, good on them,along with the canadians we are still having to pay more, we worked it out the US is paying around 1.25 litre and we are paying 2.09, so i guess gas is still relatively cheap in the US, but yes we are all feeling the pinch that's for sure.

When you buy a car in CT, not only do you pay sales tax, licensing and title fees, but a car in CT is considered a "luxury", so we are also sent a tax bill every year based on how much THEY think your car is worth. That on top of the 7% gas tax, soon to be 7.5% is just too much.

Our wonderful (not) Governor has decided to hold off raising the gas tax for the summer. Believe me, it doesn't put a DENT in helping the CT residents out.

So, that's why I'm stuck home in my little apartment on my computer watching tv, reading. My car, after putting $25 worth of gas in it, is sitting in the parking lot going nowhere, doing nothing.

Something's gotta give. People can't take much more. I've been reading stories about fights at the gas pumps, cutting in lines, etc. It's getting ugly.

I hear you, sister, but it's not likely to get "better" any time soon. It's going to take some real grass roots effort to get the government to move forward with tapping into the oil & shale resources that are right here on US territory. There needs to be some sanity and balance in all this, with die-hard environmentalists coming to terms with reality for the rest of us. I'd say most of us are getting tired of being held hostage by foreign oil because we're held hostage here by over regulation preventing development of available resources.

And what ever happened to the development of alternate fuels that was going to save us back in the 70's? In case no one noticed, those promises were made over 35 years ago!!!!

I'm not sure of the price exactly today, but Bruce filled my tank and said it was $60! I have a VW Jetta. It used to take less than $20 to fill the tank. CRAZY!!!
