That's why I fill up when the meter is half empty. The psychological impact is lessened...
Also try to fill up early in the morning or at night when the temperature is cooler. Gas is denser and you get more for your money.

Yeah, prices have gotten better... I don't think I've gone over $40 on a fill up in awhile, but I don't let my tank get that low...
About $2.74 a gallon for 93 where I am...

I'm glad I went to Michigan yesterday to get gas ... $2.399 per gallon ... when I came back to Windsor (ontario) today, it was C$0.889/L for regular (C$1.089/L for premium = US $3.75 / gallon)
I love living next to the border ... also got 5 quarts of Mobil 1 (5W20) and other goodies you can't find in Canada (very easily, at least).

Burn some dust here
Haven't filled the car up in a month and won't have to for probably another 4 weeks. Being at school in the fall with football = limited driving 
However, to fill the Ta-whore up last month was $77.XX for 87

We're getting screwed here in CA. We don't even get 93 and our 91 is about 2.95 average.

I was just in NY. Filled up the rental car at the station in the middle of the Belt PKY. 87 was $2.76. 87 here in FL where I live is still at $2.90 in some spots, but mostly in the $2.60 range.

93 is like 3.01 or something like that in nyc. If you are being charged 3.55 you need to find another gas station. I filled up yesterday it cost me like $42.

i just filled up tonight and was seeing the prices in fairfax, va and realized how much prices have dropped int he last 2 months, regular was down below 2.50 in a lot of places, i filled up at $2.79 for 93 octane and it felt like a bargain, we got up to 3.35 or something like that in tysons corner, va where i work. It was tough filling up over 3 bucks a gallon
