Seems like alot to me for a tow car.

How about $90? That's what it is costing the wife.

Heck, it costs me $65-70 to fill the BMW.

Try $160 to fill up my Yukon XL from empty! The days of $80 fill ups are a distant memory.

Thank goodness my commute is only 4 miles.

$80 only gets me about 16 gallons. Diesel average of $5 a gallon. I have a 44 gallon tank. I fill up about every 10 days. It ain't pretty...

I remember when I used to have my Yukon Xl and it cost me $80 to fill up. Gas was only $2.50.

Ahh the good old days when gas was only $2.50

Most pumps around here require that I swipe my credit card twice just so I can get $80 of gas. (The pumps cut off at $75.)

At least when I filled the boat this last time the pump waited to cut off at $100. Had to still put in $20 more. This at $3.77/gallon a couple of weeks ago. W out we didn't even go through 1/4 tank; stayed on the hook most of the day.

It cost me close to $40 just to fill my Integra's tank this last time. That was for only 9.775 gallons (the tank holds around 11 gallons). Good thing I'm getting right around 40mpg in this car!

Sounds like you have an Excursion.

Me too...

I was hooking the boat up last Friday evening when a guy stopped in front of my house and yells, "What? You gonna go rob a gas station to fill that thing?"

It gets pretty bad when people driving down the street stop to heckle you.

We're taking the babyliner and the motorhome for a 3-day weekend to a lake a whopping 78 miles away. Just to drive the motorhome there and back will cost me an estimated $154 for gas. That's at the bargain price of $3.79 a gallon. You poor bastards with diesels.... (My gas gauge don't work, so I put in $175 worth. The extra was less than 7 gallons)


I don't give a rats lower cheekbone what anyone says, that's f*****g ridiculous. Especially considering I expect to use only $75 or less in BOAT gas for the whole weekend! And even THAT'S ridiculous!!

I hear you on that one. They don't realize if I don't want to spend to much gas I can just go to the beach with the boat and stay there for the day, or at anchor, beach bar, etc.

If you compare to some other fun activities like staying at a campground all weekend the money spent is not much different.

I'm looking at $112 to fill up at $4.00. Wait its not $4.00 anymore, its $4.05. Ahh, the good old days of $3.90 are already a distant memory. Its pretty bad when it takes 2 credit card swipes at the pump to fill up.

The good old days for me were when it was $0.79.

You guys are lucky. The US has the lowest price on this continent. Over here we are paying 1.34$/liter. This converts to 5.07$ per Gallon and that's not at the marina.
