Car Forum / Honda Cars / May 2008first $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 was flirting with danger this week and procrastinated until > the yellow empty light.

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 > I guess the only people who get triple digit fill-ups are people with > lawnmowers and motorcycles and other small engines. 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. >> I guess the only people who get triple digit fill-ups are people >> with [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > And some SUVs and personal trucks now top $100 per fillup. > Dont even talk about RVs, boats and commercial trucks. 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. > > I was flirting with danger this week and procrastinated until > > the yellow empty light.

Only a matter of weeks before I exceed the $40 barrier. =( Then again, most other car owners would be jealous of a $40 fillup. =) >> I was flirting with danger this week and procrastinated until >> the yellow empty light.

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

In the Chicago area, it can cost over $20 to fill a Suzuki GS850 motorcycle. >I was flirting with danger this week and procrastinated until >the yellow empty light.

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. 51 bucks to fill my 99 civic se --ontario canada I feel your pain >>I was flirting with danger this week and procrastinated until >>the yellow empty light.

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. |
