Whats the most you have spent for gas?

With the prices going crazy, it would be interesting to see what everyone is spending on a gallon of gas.

Ill start with the most i have spent was $3.25

How about you?

I spent $18+ per gallon for a special racing gas.

I think the most I have spent was in the upper $3 range. Diesel is already more expensive. Local prices here are $3.40 and up.

I paid 3.49 yesterday in chicago cause I forgot to fillup before leaving and wasn't sure I'd make it home. I saw 3.75 for regular at another station there.

it's about 3.35 here and a new mobil station opened up and I'm getting 2 mpg better using gas from there.

i remember by how much i spend to fill up
so far my record is $36
vx has a 10.9 gallon tank...and i can usually get over 11 gallons in her.
these damn pumps vary so much in accuracy though
i wouldn't be surprised if many of my mpg calculations are off by a gallon or more on some fill-ups
some pumps shut off under different pressurization.
some are calibrated wrong
it seems the only way i can be sure is if my car is sputtering into the station...
and then i fill it up until gas comes out the nozzle
thats about 11.5 gallons

Thanks, I was wondering about this. Most I've gotten in is about 11.1 gallons I believe, so I guess I was pretty low! I agree, though, the VX is very hard to fill up to the same place each time you go to the pump. Not sure if its a quirk specific to the VX or something all cars are plagued by.

Just paid 3.75 at a Chevron last week sometime. I've rarely spent more than $40 on a full tank though.
