RW> I spent nearly that amount yesterday. Like you, I don't like to let the
RW> tank get too much lower than half a tank, but let it slip to 1/4 tank
RW> after taking a trip to San Antonio. I usually put 10 gals in the tank and
RW> with the price changes, that works out nicely. When the pump reached 10
RW> gals yesterday, I wasn't paying attention and it went over about two
RW> gallons, so I decided to put in 15 gallons. At $3.09/per, that came to
RW> almost $50...used to fill up the 68 Camaro (in 1968) with that amount of
RW> 100 octane premium fuel, at just 36 cents/gal...What a deal!

Not that long ago (in 2002) when I bought my Monte Carlo brand new, I used to
pay an average of $16 to fill the tank.  It now costs me an average of $45.  

That is our less expensive vehicle to fill.  The Durango costs around $75 on
average.  

Even my HD costs an average of $11-$12 for the premium gas that it requires.
