  • A new fill-up high

    I thought it was bad when I filled up the Festiva last year at $20, the Aspire took $21 -7.8 gallons- to fill-up last night. I did put $15 in the Festiva and that only gave me 3/4 of a tank. I'm glad I keep them now, the escape is costing her 40 bucks to fill-up. This isn't the arena so I can't say what I would like to about oil companies.. but i'm sure you catch my drift. I miss the days of filling the stiva with 8 bucks.

    I now giggle and LOL when i fill up :lol:

    $22 for 8 gallon fill up.

    This is great compared to a 12 gal , for the avg car

    or 22 gal for the avg SUV :lol:

    when i pull up and glance at the pump and see the previous fill up was $75!!! I JUST BUST OUT LAUGHING, and then i get the dirty looks from everyone dreading their fill ups :lol:

    gas prices here avg $2.79 NOW! $2.68 lowest price I've seen

              Filled up my dual tank ford club wagon for a trip to Minnesota the other day. It had 1/3 tank left in primary tank. Cost $86, probably be over $100 to fill both up @ empty. Head wind killed me coming home Filled up twice before I got home with one tank left. Long live the festiva!!!!

                Its only going to get worse too. The only way to get the prices down is to lower the demand. I got my Aspire, and looking for another. :lol:

                      i never look at the gas prices...cause i don't pay for gas my boss does even for my personals once in awhile. S10 glass truck gets filled up daily for 40 and the kia spec5 usually takes around 30-32, the festiva 25 or so

                          I wonder how festivas would sell if they were reintroduced when gas gets to the $4 per gal range?

                            Like I have said " Festiva is the best kept secret"
