It takes my wife about 30 minutes to get to work (8 miles more or less). 20 minutes in the summer when school isn't in session. Sometimes I commute from my desktop to the hammock hanging under the grapevines, dragging my laptop with me.
 
$3.35 for regular most places here in Boise now. Diesel is almost a buck more.

I'm sure if I let my 1989 Cadillac Brougham's tank run dry, I'd come close:
 
$3.419 x 25 gallons = $85.475 (Sunoco Ultra)
 
For the others:
 
1988 Buick Park Avenue and 2005 Buick LaCrosse:
 
$3.149 x 18 gallons = $56.682 (Sunoco Regular)
 
2007 Cadillac DTS Performance:
 
$3.419 x 18 gallons = $61.542 (Sunoco Ultra)

I think my '67 Catalina has a 26 gallon tank. I usually feed it premium fuel, which is over $3.50 per gallon in my area now. So if I let it run bone dry, that's a bit over $90 right there.
 
I remember whining about a fillup back in 2004 that broke the $60 barrier! Nowadays I could almost hit that with my Intrepid and its 17 gallon tank, using 87 octane.

$100? Jeez, I've never even paid $50 for a fill up. Closest I came to to that was about a year ago when I borrowed my dad's S-10 and filled it up for him: about $40. $35 of premium will fill the S2000 and the SE-R, though I know I'll blow past $50 when it comes time to fill up the GMC.

How big is the gas tank in your GMC? My '85 Silverado used to have two 16 gallon saddle tanks, but both of them went bad, and I only paid to have one replaced.
 
That limits my cruising range, but at least helps with the sticker shock when it's time to fill up!

IIRC the tank behind the seat is about 20 gallons. Mine once had a pair of 15-gallon saddle tanks under the bed and I did consider putting them back on, but I wouldn't drive it often enough to use up 50 gallons of gas soon enough so I'll just have to be content to top it off every 150 miles.

Highest in the state per gasbuddy.com is $3.54 over in Mountain Home along the interstate. Sun Valley and environs isn't even in the top 15.

midgrade and premium are now over $4/gallon at the nearest station to my house. Gas stations here have started discounting the regular unleaded so that it won't cross that $4 mark (psychological barrier to shoppers that it is), and as a result the regular unleaded at that station is still only $3.86.
 
I usually shop at a different station by the freeway which is about a dime cheaper, but they are both up a dime since this time last week. Memorial Day is still 6 weeks away...

I was driving to work this morning and saw gasoline prices jumped by four cents overnight! Sunoco Ultra is $3.45 and regular is $3.19! Good thing I filled up the Park Ave a few nights ago.
