9. I used to use premium, felt it was better for my car.

Edited on Tue May-13-08 08:39 AM by Rhiannon12866

Then I switched to regular, and commiserated with a guy who had a sports car, at the pumps with me, who said he'd done the same. But now I'm putting off filling up, and I try to keep my car full, especially in cold weather, but it's close to $4, $3.81 yesterday, for regular, and going up every day, even in my little burg...:-(

5. Actually...

A bit less now. I need premium for my car, so my $4 a gallon was during a spike in prices, right now it is closer to $3.70-$3.80 a gallon.

8. Yikes! It's almost that high here. But you have my sympathies.

It was $3.69 last week, here in Northern NY, but was at $3.81 yesterday when I went out. I have slightly less than half a tank, and I like to keep it more than half, especially in cold weather, for my car. And I'm anticipating a drive a half-hour north this week, so I should fill up my tank. But I just cannot believe the prices!:wow:
