(For Firefox users, get the Gasbuddy extension, it helped me predict this spike in prices.)


Not sure where you heard the $4+ because I haven't seen any of that here in Indy. Yesterday I paid $2.63 at bp. Just a couple of weeks ago I sold my 26 gallon tank 1994 GMC Sierra pickup and purchased a 16 gallon tank 2005 Pontiac G6 GT. I was paying upwards of $65 - $75 per fillup which was about every week and a half. Now I am spending $35 - $40 per tank every week. I'm averaging about 23.6 miles per gallon in the city and 30.3 miles per gallon on the interstate.


I used to get upset about the price of gas, but I really don't care about it anymore. I have to have my car to get to work, school, and elsewhere. Biking, walking or using public transportation is not an option where I live.

I don't shop around for gas either. I buy ALL of my gas from bp. bp has the most competitive prices and a high quality of gasoline. Plus, they also power all of the bp Connect stations by solar panels on the top of the roof.
