What Is Gas Like In Your Home Town?

Gas prices have gotten unbelievable recently! We're paying about $4.55 per gallon and some of the pumps have a $75 limit for credit/debit card transactions at the pump. That's not even enough to fill up my gas tank if I let it get too low. Others have limits set at $99 and if I'm really bad and let my tank get really low, THAT doesn't even fill up my tank. Yes, I'm driving a full size SUV. It's the only thing we can all fit into since my husband refuses to drive a mini van. *sigh*

I really do need to try to fill up when my tank is around the half full point, but it's tough when your schedule is tight. Anyway - I'm just curious as to what you're paying for gas.

Also, have you heard about some of the strategies for saving on gas like filling up at certain times of the day or running your car on water?????

This report of Gas Saving Tips shares some information on when to fill up, which cars are the most efficient in each car category, plus your standard tips on how to use less gas. If you're in the market for a new car, you'll definitely want to check out which cars are the most fuel efficient.

When I told my oldest daughter how much I think it would cost to fill up a tank of gas by the time she's an adult and has some kids, she said that she was going to be buying her kids bikes. LOL - not a bad idea...

LOL on the Bikes... We also drive a big Ol' SUV. It is about $3.87 a gallon here right now and that $75 limit? DRIVES ME CRAZY! Really... they ought to up that since the prices are so high. Of course I just slide my card through again to finsh filling, but really... we shouldn't have to do that.

We were at roughly $5.70 U.S. per gallon (we buy in litres in Canadian dollars) for a while. Now down to about $5.30.
