Gas Prices..
Wow, gas prices are out of control again..
I have a VW GTI which gets pretty good gas mileage and has a gas tank that’s about 15 gallons. I also usually buy the high grade gas because it is recommended for turbos, which mine is.
Last night I filled up and broke the $50 mark! It cost me $52!!
Man that hurts…
