It's crazy to say, but as Gas prices go up, the difference between regular and premium doesn't seem as bad. Think about it:

When Regular gas is $2.00 gallon, then premium is around 2.25, right? 19 gallon tank and it costs $38.00 regular and $42.75 for premium, a $4.75 difference or 13%.

But when Regular goes to $4.00 a gallon Premium is around $4.35-$4.40. Even at the higher price it's: $76.00 vs $83.60, a $7.60 difference. At $75.00 to fill up, am I really gonna worry about that extra $7 bucks like I would $4 at $38?
