Rant Thread. Post up YOUR Fuel Prices!

Ok, so everyone seems to always be posting on and on about fuel mileage. So, I thought why not post up on how much your fuel is and see who has some of the more expensive stuff? Mine here personally is 4.24 a gallon for diesel #2 at a Renner station I have membership at, at the Shell its up to about 4.29...plus the lovely 9.25% sales tax here... 87 octane is 4.09 a gallon. A year ago, my cost for 87 octane was 4.79$ and I'll bet diesel was over 5$ a gallon. Holy Crap... And my fuel bill between my 3 vehicles was over 1100$ last month. Although, 3/4 of that is for business use. Fuel costs are running my business into the ground. So, that's my little rant, whats yours?

Fuel is running my business into the ground too. I've been getting 11MPG city, 13 HWY. Thats all getting fixed.

3.39 here. Soon as you go outside of St. Louis county it drops ten cents. Go across the river to Illinois and it's over $4 I think. I'm spending between $600 and $1000 a month on gas and I don't get to write any of that off as business. It's gone down quite a bit, it was up to $3.89 for quite a while, then held pretty steady at $3.69 for a while. The stations here tease you. It'll go down a few cents twice a day, then it'll be the lowest you've seen in the morning while I'm hurrying to work and don't have time to fill up, then by noon it'll have gone up 20 cents. Buying gas here is like trying to time the stocks as a day trader.

Fuel around here is equivalent to $4.73/US gallon. I have to pass this on to the customer (overhead recovery) otherwise who pays for it? I'm not in business to give away my profit, that doesn't make sense. It still sucks though...greed does too.
