I drove by the gas station this morning - it was $4.01 for regular, and 7 hours later it was $4.06 per gallon!  :-\
That's a 10 cent increase in 3 days.

Today the cheapest I can find is $4.11 a gallon for regular. Most stations are closer to $4.30.

I have a suburban that holds 32 gallons. The gas mileage is about 12 mpg, but I am typically driving 6 to 8 people. Is it's just me I take the other car which gets about 22 mpg.

That's a good way of looking at the situation:  how many people per miles per gallon.

Paid $3.69 a gallon for E-85 (can't wait for rebate in January!!), but regular gas varies across town. $4.18 is the highest with $4.06 the lowest. Glad I didn't get the vehicle I really wanted, it took Premium fuel, and I would be burning it up just to drive and enjoy it.
