Has this happened to anyone else? Or just in my region. Gas prices just went up 50c/gal this morning. I drove by a station and it was 3.15/3.25/3.38!!!
They said because of the hurricane the capacity of the system has gone down nationwide, I guess so!

Thank god I sold the Infiniti. The Escape isn't much better on gas, but at least it takes regular.

It is completely outrageous! I alway joked about it going up to 3 bucks+ a gallon but never actually thought it would occur. Oh well, my car isn't going anywhere without gas, so I guess I'll just keep buying it.

I bet my parents wont be using our Suburban much (though its really just a tow vehicle for us, stays in the garage unless its needed). 454 with a 42 gallon tank, 4.10 rear end, you do the math
Edit: Im also saving my SVT mod money and trying to buy a cheap older scooter for a DD. 70-90 MPG is looking fabulous right now
