I paid $1.56 per gallon today to fill up.

Local Marathon shops are offering an additional discount if you have a "discount card"  which will save an addditional five cents per gallon below their advertized price, as a regular customer.

I spent $30.70 in Spokane by filling it up and it was on empty.

I filled my car up again in Spokane for $28. something. I was on empty. I usually don't let myself get that low. I don't want to take chances of being stranded. Oh well I was in a city and I can just take a bus to a gas station and buy a can and put gas in it and go back to my car and put some in it and then go to a gas station and fill it up.

Gas mileage varies I heard. You get less gas mileage in a city but you get it better when you're on the road, no stops.

Yes, that's pretty basic knowledge for a driver.

I'd be careful with that assumption SG - I found out the hard way that buses in this area won't allow you on a bus with a petrol can. Fire hazard.

Fuel prices here are better than they were but still high - petrol is down to around £0.89/litre, diesel £1.04/litre.

The lowest price for regular gasoline I saw on our long drive to school this morning was $1.52/gallon, but the cheapest price here where we live is $1.59/gallon.

3.28 kronor/litre. It hasn't been that cheap in Sweden since I was 3 years or so.  :(
