I started keeping a log after getting a used Expedition - in 1.5 months $289 - it is killing me to pay that much. I was driving a Jetta that got 30 MPG. I have to keep thinking that the repair costs to the Jetta would offset the gas savings.
Date Gallons Miles ~ MPG Cost Price Note
01/25/07 18.7 235 12.57 $40.00 $2.14
01/31/07 21.1 265 12.56 $46.00 $2.18 36PSI tires
02/07/07 11.7 156 13.33 $25.00 $2.14 Air Filter
02/12/07 14.0 185 13.21 $30.00 $2.14
02/18/07 14.2 190 13.35 $31.00 $2.18
02/22/07 12.2 195 15.98 $27.00 $2.21 1/2 HW Miles
02/24/07 8.8 120 13.71 $20.00 $2.27
02/28/07 12.7 160 12.60 $30.00 $2.37
03/05/07 16.4 0.00 $40.00 $2.43
I am sure it will be up over $3.00 before we know it. They will blame increased demand with the upcoming summer travel season coming up, Middle East tension, etc.

secondly
right off CNN this morning .....
an interview with Goldsmith's garage who just quit
selling gasoline because it was costing them
$1000.00 per month.
he said: the gas delivery was costing him
more per gallon than what you could buy it retail for. 
So now ........... he's just a service station. |

True Raven.. they are trying to sqeeze the independents out.. they want to own all the reatail outlets, (chain style) too.
Friend of mine is in it with his family, 50 years plus.. they only hang on to the gas end of it, becasue of his father, too stubborn, or sentimental to quit is... I have seen the invoices.. they pay more, than the chain owned store (same brand), a mile down the road.. sad....

At Least they get something back for that.. the extra taxes goes towards their health care in a lot of the european countries, that have socialized HC
All we get here, is rich bloated oil company CEO's.... |

They also have a SUBSIDIZED public transportation system that serves the majority of the continent. Try to use pubic transportation to get somewhere in the US  |
