It now costs double to fill up your car with gas. That one really hurts because regardless of how much $ you make, whether you have $100 million in the bank or you are bankrupt, everyone pays the same price for gas. I had to fill up my car this morning and it cost me $87. It was $4.35 a gallon to fill up. For the first time in at least five or six years, I actually saw someone at the gas station begging for money to gas up their car. His reasoning was that he was waiting for his stimulus check to come in.
