With gas prices so high, do you still fill up your gas tank?

I usually only put in $10-$20 just to get me around to where I need to get to. I am usually at home and don't venture out to often unless it is with my hubby and he usually has a full tank of gas in his car, so keeping a full tank in my car isn't really needed. It all depends on how far I need to go if I fill up my tank or not. But with the way gas prices are right now I haven't filled up my gas tank in a long time.

hello keisha, Despite of high gas price we don't have a choice not to fill it up because we have business and we are using trucks and vehicle services everyday As much as possible we go to a gas station with a lower price than the other gas station. happy mylotting

Well, Thank goodness for having a Toyota Prius, or we would be in trouble, as to until I can find a job closer to home, we are paying right around $3.89-$4 a gallon and driving over 500 miles a week so we have to fill up every 4 days usually. We always fill up unless $$ is low and then we just put in there what we can afford and hope for the Best from there.

I don't tend to fill it to where it gets topped off, but I do fill it as much as I can. The last time I got gas for my vehicle I spent $50 in one shot. Ouch! And here the needle didn't even hit F. I don't normally spend this much at one time at the pump and I do try to set a limit as to how much I spend, but with prices always going up I figured it'd be cheaper in the long run. Not that it makes much difference. I'll have to get more fuel eventually... Happy mylotting!

Usually I fill my tank at the beginning of the week. If gas prices appear to be rising, I will put more gas in my tank, even if I just put gas in the day before. I put gas in my tank at least two times a week, and have noticed that gas prices seem to change on Tuesdays and Thursdays here. I figured out how much it costs me to drive to and from work, so I try to put enough gas in just to get me through the week. It seems as though I am saving some money by filling my tank at the beginning of the week and then putting enough gas in to get me through the week. Right now gas is $3.95 a gallon at a lot of gas stations here, but I did find it for $3.74 a gallon. Gas is sooetc. ridiculous that I can barely afford to go to work and I have to cut other fun things out of my life just to pay for gas. Very sad!

No way! Who can handle he isk? Expense is way oe people's heads anymoe.

In my town we have 3 gas stations and when prices go up or down it seems that this happens with in 1 or 2 days. If I notice one station increasing prices I will fill up at the other one and save a few cents.

I usually still fill up my gas tank - but in general I don't drive a ton, meaning I don't go out of town, so if I don't go anywhere really, it can last me more than a week. I have a 16 gallon tank so it costs quite a bit to fill it up, the last time I think it was around 60 bucks.

I always fill my car's gas tank when I gas up my car. I have alawys done that. I have a gasoline credit card which I use at the mini mart I get gas. I alawys get a monthly bill and make a payment every month. I rarely use cash and I know it would be better because I get service charges on my bill. I just use the card for gas. Sometimes I use it for stuff in the mini mart. When winter was here,we had wind,cold and snow! When dring in that darn weather I had to drive with my car's defroster and heater on! That chews up alot of gasoline! Hopefull winter is finally gone and I will save gasoline! I don't have my part-time job at this time! I should have it back in June! Until then I will save money! I am not thrilled about the high price of gas! I really hate that it had jumped so high in such a short time! It is like you blink and gasoine is up again! I wish I could live without a car but that is impossible where I live!

I don't fill my tank.I fill only small quantities.Its our son who makes a mess of our petrol calculations by using the car.Otherwise my wife and me calculate very carefully our requirements and only fill and use accordingly.

Because the gas prices are rising so much and so frequently, I try to fill up when I can. I may be paying one price one day and $.10 or even $.20 more a few days from then. That way, I get the cheapest price I can and get the most I can.

in my country indonesia the gas is not too expensive,so i acn fill up my gas like usually,for you maybe you can go wiyh bicycle for the near location to save your money to buy gas

Well,it is same here in Denmark.The gas price was 10.57 4 days ago per litre but now,it has gone up to 11.67 per litre. USA needs to back-off now.Enough of gas monopoly !

Great Question! I usually fill my car up with gas every Friday, because that's when I get paid. It takes 50 dollars to fill my car up! The gas prices here are 4.19. I heard it is going to go up to 5 something in May. If it does, everyone's going to have a hard time getting gas.

I put in 20....then wait a couple of days....then top it off or put in another 20....I had to fill last weekend as I was going to my friends in Wisconsin...had a quarter of a tank and hit 40 bucks....another 25 for on the way home.....today...another 25 bucks...seems so rediculous!

I don't drive much so thankfully a half tank will typically last me 2 weeks. I put in what I can afford at the minute and do alot of coasting.

I don't have any method in particular to save me money from gasoline. Whenever my gas tank is low, I would stop by the gas station, and fill up full. Well, luckily, the gas price is about going down a bit right now, so, I still have to fill it up whenever I need it. I hope that our gas price will be down again by this summer.
