eh, prices change, but what pisses me off is how every station jacks up the price at the same time. and they say there is no collusion...

I get the Premium (89 Octane) and it costs me about $22 to fill up now. I was paying $16 or so when I first got the car, and it's been going up ever since. It'd be nice to just once to have gas prices go down a little bit ...

I remember when I was living in Vancouver there would be gas wars and gas stations would compete for business, but it doesn't seem they're doing that any more. What a shame ...

It would take a couple of years for the hybrid to pay for itself... seeing as they don't get that much better fuel economy... Unless your talking about the Insight...

be thankful we have civics instead of an suv or truck. then youd be paying 40-50 dollars for a fillup

Exactly it costs $20+ to fill up my moms suv I am stuck driving right now and thats at 1.61 a gallon. Yeah these prices are horrible I hear some places in OR are like 1.95 or something so they are trying to pass a law to outlaw stations from not letting people pump their own gas to lower their prices.

My friend has a '91 GMC Jimmy (K5) 4X4 with a 350 V8 and it costs him $65 to fill the tank.
I could fill my Civic's tank up almost three times at that price!
