Default gas prices are killing me $448 at the pump

Today i went to buy gas for my truck and my atvs. I have 12 atv and 4 dirt bikes a Rhino and 2 sport bikes yes im crazy. I have 16 6gallon gas containers i fill the 6 gallon containers with 6.2 gallons of gas and some sea foam. I have all 16 gas containers lined up and people was lookin at me like wtf. After i was finish filling the containers i filled my truck up. When I looked up at the pump i almost had an heart attack I spent $448 dollars. I was like there went 1/4 of my paycheck. $92 on the truck and $356 on the containers. Yes i am very crazy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Got that right I spent over $2500 on gas last summer just on the atvs when we went on a trip. The trip lasted for 3 weeks. I only do that once a year puts a hole in ur walet with these gas prices.

Wow, you drain the pump dry when you buy gas. I bet they like seeing you coming.

I feel bad just shelling out $60 to fill my truck. I can't imagine dropping that much at one time.

Be Happy!

Here In Canada, it is currently $1.22 / liter ...? 4.55 liters = 1 gallon so the current price is $5.55 / gallon.

Now for the fun stuff... according to some European friends that is still CHEAP!!??

In Britain - the current price is 1 pound 20 per liter - or roughly $10.00 US per gallon.

They have NO SYMPATHY for any of us.

There... do you feel better now? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Guess I am one of the lucky ones. We can ride our atv here in town. So have been using it to run around town. 30+ mpg is alot better than using my 10 mpg truck.

My gas here in Canada is $1.37 per liter .. But both my vehicles are diesel (Jetta & F350) and diesel is $1.39 per liter ... I wish I could pay $3.58 a gallon ..

Our shop goes thru approx. $400.00 per week (some weeks more some less) .. Honda wants anything with a steel fuel tank filled at PDI ..
