I decided to fill my tank up yesterday because I knew it was going to be a HUGE jump. Filled my Sunfire with 'Plus' (the most expensive, which was actually a mistake on not paying attention to what I was doing) at a total of $35. Today the same amount of 'unleaded' would have cost me nearly $40. 25 cent jump here in Southeast Ohio for unleaded.

And because everyone across the country is doing the same thing, we're now seeing shortages. But what can I say, I filled up yesterday with the tank only at half empty myself.

Not too bad here. Just called my gas station, and with my Honda it's not such a big deal. I'm more worried about the 40% jump in natural gas for home heating this winter and am trying to figure out what to do.

Prices at my station as of this minute (Iowa - don't want to name):

Ultimate $3.19 Regular $3.09 Silver $2.99

Your $35 was not too bad. I don't know if it gets good mpg or what it is exactly. Even $40 to fill my tank I can absorb, but when it gets up to $60 like my son paid, that is going to hurt a lot of people. He can afford it for now, was just grumbling.

Today in NE Ohio my husband didn't see a gas station selling unleaded for less than 3.10. Monday he could find it for 2.60.
