Now most of you know Julie & I have two gas guzzling vehicles, which I realize with the high gas prices they both suck to fill up, however that's not my issue. A lot of the gas stations have a $50 per tank limit which with these high gas prices are not allowing me to fully fill the tank at one shot. Now with the plethora of full sized trucks and SUV's especially in the area I live in you'd think the could raise the max dollar amount to about $60 so we could fill the tank completely full, or better yet...................... just lower the F'n gas prices, which I'd prefer. :mumble:

 

[stosh]

F'ing california.....

Who has a limit on how much you can fill that dumb!

 

[narlus]

wait a minute....YOU have a gas-guzzler?

btw, i think a cap is retarded.

almost as retarded as spending $60 on a tank of gas which might last a week.

$60 to fill up.

How many miles do you get out of that?

 

[N8 v2.0]

Why is there a dollar limit anyway?

Sounds like some kind of underhanded tree-hugger tatic to screw with large vehicle owners because it doesn't make any sense otherwise.

 

[luken8r]

man, i put $30 in my jeep yesterday and i thought that was a lot

 

[pnj]

ahahahahhahaahha!

Take it!

:nuts:

 

[Brian HCM#1]

$60 to fill up.

How many miles do you get out of that?

I get between 300-350 miles per tank and fill up once or twice a week, Julie fills up once a week and gets about the same.

 

[Barbaton]

yeah, $28 from "GET GAS YOU IDIOT" light to full Sat.

and I haven't had to get gas since end of Feb.

I have know idea why there is a limit, I knew on one station, but now they are popping up everywhere.




Damn hippies

You never fail to post exactly what is expected. I guess that's a talent.

 

[Barbaton]

That amounts to about 14mpg. Yikes. I like that if you reverse the digits you get my car's milage.

 

[douglas]

I saw a pump with that $50 limit lask week......I think it was a stewarts

 

[hooples3]

I fill up once every two weeks about.... it depends on how much i use it over the weekend to go mountain biking.. otherwise the my jeep stays HOME and i am on my bike!!!!!!

 

[narlus]

i got about 35 mpg on my last tank. if i ditch the roof rack and finally get a hitch mount rack, i should do a bit better.

 

[mack]

Why dont you just get a fuel efficient car.

 

[Barbaton]

Ditto


that's why i didn't have to get gas since february. occasional weekend use for groceries, microwaves, wok's etc. Otherwise, it's bike for me.

 

[Broken_Spoke]

Brian have you tried filling up at half tank? I know it will make more trips to the station but you wouldn't have to worry about the caps then.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Why dont you just get a fuel efficient car.

Why? I like my full size vehicles, I drive them and don't complain about them.

As for reswiping, that takes too much more of my time, especially for 2 or 3 more gallons.

 

[golgiaparatus]

or twice

jesus man. 120 in 1 week on gas?

 

[narlus]

jesus man. 120 in 1 week on gas?

he drives w/ the AC on, the windows down, and the e-brake engaged.

 

[N8 v2.0]

A couple of stations here had reg-unleaded for $1.99 this weekend.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

jesus man. 120 in 1 week on gas?

It's about $110 a week

Sorry, but this thread is pretty much an indirect complaint. No one with fuel efficient cars would have these gripes.

You have kids right? Ever considered an outback?

HOLY EFFIN F*CKLOAD OF $$$$.

That's retarded.

AC is always on, I hate wind noise.

No, my complaint is I can't fill it up in one shot, thats all. Yep I have 2 kids.

 

[Freak]

$60 to fill up.

How many miles do you get out of that?

$60!??!! It costs me about $70-$80 to fill up....However, I get around 600 miles out of that tank.

Cause some people (like myself) can't tow a 20ft trailer with a fuel efficient car. :eviltongu heheh

 

[narlus]

what the hell do you drive which has a ~30 gal fuel tank?

 

[Freak]

No, my complaint is I can't fill it up in one shot, thats all.

I agree with ya!!! I hate having to fill up to $50, then put the nozzle away, swipe card again, then fill up the rest of the way....Just a pain in the butt!!

 

[H8R]

But, is brian pulling two trailers? Why not at least one efficient car?

I know, dead-ass horse.

 

[Freak]

2001 Dodge Ram 2500 with a Cummins Turbo Diesel.

Compensating for something?

Can't speak for Brian, but we do at least have that....Mazda 3 hatch. It gets about 28mpg. My big truck though is getting around 20mpg on the hwy not towing.

 

[Freak]

Compensating for something?

Yep....It's called the lack of balls that my F-150 had!...oh and that 8-9mpg when I was towing.

 

[golgiaparatus]

It's about $110 a week

LOL! My rent is just barely more expensive than your monthly gas expendature.

 

[Barbaton]

Compensating for something?

Like you had to ask after the avatar.

 

[narlus]

20 mpg on the highway for a truck that size is pretty impressive.

whenever i see the massive grill of a 1500 or 2500 in my rear view mirror, it looks like the thing is gonna eat my honda.
