just got back from vacation and drove about 2300 miles, so 500+ in fuel wont be an issue for the last 30 days.

I you buy from these oil companies you are funding the Arabs:

Shell
Chevron/Texaco
Exxon/Mobil
Marathon/Speedway
Amoco
Citgo = Chavez

If you buy from these you are buying American Oil:
Valero
Phillips
Sunoco
Conoco
Sinclair
Hess
Arco
Maverick
Flying J.
Murphy

I try to buy all mine at Murphy which is sold at walmart. They are out of South Arkansas and have the best price. I DO NOT Support the ARABS!!!!

No , Valero is a U.S. company. I have several tenants that work for Valero at a refinery.

I avg about 200-250/mo

Pay for the gf's gas probably twice a month so roughly around $400/mo combined

My best friend still lives at home. Just grad from college, lives in Blue Springs and has to work in Overland Park everyday.

Drives a 2001 Grand Prix GTP that only takes Premium. He drives about 80mi to and from work everyday, fills up his tank about every 4-5 days.

almost a 3rd of his check goes to gas just to get to and from work.

I keep telling him to move out closer to his job.

I work only 3min away from my job. Gas is hardly an issue for me unless I go back to Blue Springs to see family etc which I hardly do anyways.

I guess it depends on how many people you took with you and how far you had to drive. But why didn't you fly? (Assuming you drove from KC)

What about BP also?

Back to the subject, now that gas has went up again, I probably am at 220-250 a month depending on how much I drive (extra). I drive 23 miles to work each way, and with the mixture of in-town/highway driving im averaging about 24mpg. If it matters, I drive a 2005 Buick Lacrosse CXL.

On a side note we had a customer come in with a 96 Geo Metro in pretty rough shape. It's a 5 speed trans, 3 cylinder engine (1.0), and he is going to put 1500.oo bucks into this thing. We are seeing all sorts of metro's pop out from the woodwork.

I don't even want to know.

I also know I don't want to trade with my sister who commutes 160miles/day or my brother and his fuel costs.

This time of year in Iowa...it takes at least $300 for 1 tank of tractor fuel....and they're running a lot of hours.
