My fill-ups haven't reached that level yet, but I usually fill up when I have a 1/4 tank left. Currently hovering in the $60 range @ $3.89/gal.
BTW, I used to live in Flushing like 8 yrs ago |

I told two former Z guys I was getting 11.7 MPG and they looked shocked and said what's wrong with my car. Nothing is wrong. I enjoyed every mile. The worst time in my Z was during break in, I got 16+-17.4 MPG. That was awful and no fun whatever.
A seventeen year old told my friend who was complaining about sports car mileage, said "Then buy a Prius."

Pretty sure people in Singapore pay WAY more to their government than you do, buddy. Especially when it comes to the expenses associated with cars. But way to go telling someone to "shut up" and following that up with a delightfully ignorant statement.

Well be glad YOU are not paying $146 USD. You paid $101. I remember when the Euro and USD were the same. Not the case anymore...

You can thank the speculators for that.
I got a story for you guys. I was at the pump filling up, a middle age man walked up to the pump next to where I was and started cursing out loud after looking at the prices, "these FCUKING speculators, FCUKKK, FCUUUKKKK" Man was he angry...

I work at a gas station and its pretty annoying when people think we somehow get gas for free and we make 100% profit on it and raise the prices for fun. There are also some in that group who think we have a magic key that lets the pumps flow freely. I want to when I talk to them, but I also have the urge to

It's pretty sad that they make more money off the car washing and vacuum pumps by cost/profit ratio than gasoline...and they make literally pennies when gas prices go up, hence some cost 10 cents per gallon more than others due to rent costs. |
