I can remember during the Obama administration (Just to give a TIMELINE - I'm not starting political talk here), when gas hit record highs back then, I got stuck in Washington state at the peak of the spike and had to get back to Florida. I remember $4.80 a gallon for premium. At that time I drove a high end German import that required premium gas. You don't even want to know what that cost me to drive that car back home. I could have flown for less than half the cost. That car had a huge tank. something like 25 gallons, I guess the Germans designed it large so you could get on the Autobahn and cruise for hours at 120 mph without having to stop for gas too often. Filling up a 25 gallon tank full of premium gas back then took your breath away. Today? It would render you unconscious!
Just put 100.00 worth of regular gas ,in my 2500 GMC pick up …and got ALMOST 3/4 of a tank.
