Yeah, I remember seeing a receipt in one of the books for gas at Amoco before they switched it to BP and gas was $0.97 a gallon. It cost like $30 to fill up a Ford Expedition with a tank that would get easily 300 miles in city driving at 10 mpg. My tank barely nets me 230-250 before my low fuel light comes on

That all has to do with the excessive weight I'm always carrying around in tires and the grille guard, not to mention the very close city driving I do, normally around a mile or less.
