I usually don't fill up until my gas light comes on. My Honda Accord has a 18.5 gallon tank. So my last 17 gallon fill-up at $3.41/gal was about $58 USD. I usually fill up every other week. In my area, public transportation is very poor and I've never used it. I live in a suburb of a small metropolitan area. For example, my commute to work is 17 miles, mostly highway.

Gas prices have dropped since my last fill up. My H purchased gas at $3.33/gal yesterday for his Toyota Tacoma; 15.57 gal was $52 USD.

CE, how does gas tax affect how much prices are where you live? USA federal gas tax is 18.4 cents/gal. We North Carolina drivers get bilked with the highest state tax in the USA at 39.15 cents/gal.
