I made that mistake. Filled up at that time on the NJ turnpike on a trip. Nearly empty. Gas was 4.25 gal. ouch. about $175.
You know you drive a Excursion when you cry at the gas pump when the Arabs and wall street raise the prices just to gouge you.

You know you drive an Excursion when diesel prices are that high and people around you stare and try to guess how much it takes to fill up...

Last month I went on a 2500 mile trip in the northwest from the San Francisco peninsula into Nevada, to Montana, to Washington, Oregon, and home.
Most of the time I paid 2.80 to 2.90 a gallon. Here at home it is running 3.20 to 3.25. And going up.
You know you drive and psd excursion when you know you are getting good miledge - but still have to wipe the tears from your eyes when you "Fill 'er up".

I usually leave mine idling and had many service attendants/other filler-uppers ask me to shut her off, but not for that reason.

Isn't there a federal law against filling up a car with the engine running? I swear I remember seeing stickers at the pumps that said something to that effect...

I've seen the stickers, but I figure if the cops around here do it too, they're not going to say anything.
