I paid $2.999 for premium a week ago at the station nearby .. perhaps I shouldn't go on that drive tonight like I was contemplating.

My stress release is becoming stressful

I also used to go on random drives to relieve stress....back in the 1.50-ish per galloon days.

This thread makes me sad.

I remember when gas was 89 cents a gallon. And that wasn't that long ago!

I feel for some of you but around Littleton, CO it not too bad. Today I filled up @ 3.09/gallon of premium, but it still sucks.

Do you really know what your combined Fed and state tax really is? It's not the feds, it's the oil companies. Federal tax on a gallon of gas is only $.184 cents per gallon. So if you don't pay the Fed tax on gas, you are still paying $2.91 a gallon if you are paying $3.09 at the street.

Indirectly, it may be the feds for allowing the oil companies to sell a gallon for what they do, but as for actual revenues going to the fed across the country, its only $.184 pennies a gallon.

P.S.- you are probably paying more state tax per gallon than federal tax.

You can run 87 with about 8 oz. of toluene from any paint store/home depot per tank and you will not notice a bit of difference.
