Damn. Gas is only $2.18 per gallon here, so I haven’t gone over $75 to fill up since they became wise to swiping the card twice.

 

Stations up here mostly allow $200 transactions at the pump. But then again, it's easier to hit it too . . . .

 

I have a 36 gallon tank in my '14 and find it is costly to fill but you don't have to fill near as often. We recently drove it from Southern Illinois to Destin, FL and back and I used EXACTLY 36.0 gallons from the parking spot of our condo to where I park it everyday at home. No granted I did top it off a few times on the way home and in Kentucky before I entered Illinois, but the trip computer said I used 36.0. It actually rolled to 36 from 35.9 when I went into reverse to back up to the house.

On the other side of the coin I live 30 miles from a fuel station in Mo that is 50 cents less per gallon than it is here in the commune of Illinois. 3 or 4 5 gallon cans and it isn't hard to save $30, and I can make it worthwhile to visit a feed store nearby that is also cheaper than the commune state.

 

Wow that’s cheap.
On average, I pay between $3.09 & $3.29 per gallon but then again, I only use Premium 93 octane.
Regular gas in my area runs between $2.69 & $2.79

 

I’m certainly not complaining. I buy my gas at Costco, and compared to the prices in other areas, I’d say Louisiana prices are very reasonable. I run 87 in mine.

Where are you located?

 

Yeah........but is it top tier gasoline .

 

Costco's prices may be reasonable but why the hell is it 50 cents more per gallon here in San Juan Capistrano, CA, compared to Fullerton, CA, both in Orange County?

$3.59 compared to $3.09 if I drive 20 miles away. 36 gallons. That's $18 right there.

 

You should live in Illinois. The most corrupt state in the union. They just hit us $0.30 a gallon increase for a B.S. fund that they’ll blow on other things than roads and infrastructure repairs... just like they did for the past 10 years. Many are going next door to buy fuel. I’m going to start taking all my families different vehicles to Wisconsin when I have job meetings. Getting pegged $13 to $24 a tank for me to buy fuel local is asinine. Don’t they realize they are fattening up neighboring states?

 

I'm aware Illinois is downright corrupt. The problem with Orange County is that one side is where all the immigrants live and the other side is where there are castles overlooking the ocean. The ultra-rich ruined it for us down here And now they're driving Tesla and not buying gas!

 

It’s Costco gas. I run Regular 87 octane in my truck.

 

I’m in the northern suburbs of Atlanta and I only use Shell V Power.

 

From what I’ve read here the 36 gal tank really pays off for those of you close to state lines.

I can say, now that I have one, that it would be a must have option on any future truck purchase.

 

I definitely like it on trips, get fuel when you feel like it not when you need it. Like i said we went from Destin, FL to about 60 miles into the southern part of IL on what could have been one tank of fuel. Of course for those of us who like to stay hydrated we had to stop anyway so often times I just topped it off.

The other thing I like about it is that in the event of a natural disaster where the power could be out for a duration I have a large quantity of gasoline sitting there to feed a generator if needed.

 

I beg to differ. I live in the people's republic of New York City. Double Whammy! The most corrupt city contained inside the most corrupt state!

I live 10 minutes from New Jersey where gas averages 40 to 50 cents a gallon cheaper than New York. The 36 gallon tank is wonderful since I cross the bridge at least 2 times a week to do other shopping (also cheaper). I haven't bought gas in NYC in years.

 

I've thought of that before but what is the easiest way to transfer gas from your truck tank to a generator or another portable tank?
