I'm staying on the motorcycle a lot more than driving the car to save gas.

Gas went up $0.16 today. I filled up in the morning and it was $4.49, now it is 4.65. That car takes premium. Our other car takes regular unleaded, which is now 4.45, so this afternoon regular is the same price premium was this morning.
I work part time as a campus supervisor at an elementary school. The price of gas is now to the point where I have to think about if I am going to go back next year. I can literally be working to pay taxes and pay the gas company.
I am really bummed right now.

i sold my diesel that i had 3 years left of payments on...got a new gas truck for 60/month more and i save half that in fuel payments... if youre not hauling/towing get rid of that diesel, you dont need it. i didnt need mine so it went away...im SAVING money with a NEW truck..my diesel was a 2002...only thing i miss is the unreal power....(NOT STOCK POWER) with the new gasser i still only fill up every other week and pay way less for the fuel.
to the OP nothings changed yet, if and when i want a fish i can still get it... have cut out the unnecessary stuff though, bars, eating out etc...

Sucks for me! I was going to the beach pretty much daily when I moved to FL, now I hardly go at all. I've always been frugal with spending money, but you can't find many shortcuts when it comes to gas.

Scotts.....try mixing up your gas. My hubby's car asks for premium. He backed off to mid grade and then when tank is about to 1/4 tank he puts in regular. Then when regular tank is about 1/2 full, he puts in some plus. He has had ZERO problems. Next week he is going to try all regular and lets see what happens. Also the good ole' $2 can of octane boost is always an option.
I don't put that many miles on my car and everything for me/kids is reasonably close. I get fairly good gas mileage on my van. NOW, it will be interesting to see how much we spend getting from STL to south of Tampa and back home in August.
(but once we are there we don't move for 2 weeks....
)
FOOD prices on the other hand .....

This wont affect me, but one of the counties in my school system is changing their schedule to 4 extended days a week instead of 5 regular days to save gas from buses, etc
That is Retarded!
(Mostly saying this b/c I hate school)
But if mine did that.. I would go to a different school.
That is just cheap..
Yes, I would rather go 5 days of H*ll then 4 Extended days!
As if they are not long enough already!!

It affected me because i used to pay 25$ a week for gas and now i pay 40$..........Not that big of a deal
I know it affects the cost of shipping things, and the price of airline tickets. But i get 75% off shipping and round trip tickets anywhere for 98$ through fedex.
It does raise price of groceries though, and that does raise a fuss in me.......

Just an FYI from a gearhead............
Watch your actual mileage/economy. Many cars that require premium do so to eliminate detonation in high compression engines. If the engine controller detects detonation via a knock sensor the computer will retard ignition timing to compensate, resulting in lower MPG. You may be defeating the purpose.
Our Toyota doesn't require premium, but it pings while driving up hill at part throttle if we put in the cheap stuff. Detonation/spark knock/ping will damage an engine if allowed to continue.
