I never look at the price, unless by accident.

The way I look at it, is that I need gas no matter what.
So if it's $2.25 a gallon or $3.25 a gallon, it doesnt really matter as I have to pay the price thats on the pump regardless.

It obviously erks the hell at of me for the added costs though, but I tend to not look at the prices what so ever.

You should look at it because you might be able to save 10 cents a gallon at certain station. Haha. There are some smaller stations that have better price.

Can't believe now that you are driving that gas guzzler you aren't checking the price. I could think of alot of better things to do with my cash, but that will all change soon!

BUt you know the messed up part is that it cost right about 19 to 20 cents to make a gallon of gas at a refinery. The problem is as long as the consumers buys gas at any price it won't matter, and you can bet that we will never see gas again at under $ 2.00 a gallon, cause everybody is drilling for oil. I can gurantee it.

True, but those smaller stations are known for having crappy gas, rusted holding tanks, etc.. etc..

So if you want to maintain your vehicle for many years and have clean fuel injectors, then you should stick to the better gas

Just my opinion

I guess you have a brand new truck so u must baby it. But if you have an older car, it won't do much of a diff. To be honest, i don't even believe that there's much of a difference between gas. But I'm probably wrong .

Well I just bought a new truck, so you are partially right.
But previous to this, I had a 1996 Toyota Tacoma 4x4.
I didnt care to much and got gas at the cheaper places for most of the last 5-6 years of driving it.
Well wouldnt you know, I had a fuel injection problem towards the end here and Toyota's are'nt known for that.

It's because cheap gas clogs that **** up and especially run down hole in the wall gas stations as their tanks are old and rusted and the rust gets in the gas.

Thats why you see these new stations and how they get new tanks installed every few years

But I here ya, if I had an older car, I'd probably not care too much
