tank up

“Some people stop to tank up on fuel.”

“I used to be able to fill the tank up for $40 or $42, and now it’s almost $60,” he lamented as he gassed up his Nissan Sentra at a station in Yonkers, New York, where a gallon of regular gas was selling for $3.79.

The family have to fill their tank up three times a year, which cost £750 in 2020 but now costs £3,325.

Like Larry, most of the people who stopped by the station didn’t fill their tank up all the way, instead putting $10 on pump 5, $20 on pump 3 or $13 on pump 1.

“Most people don’t feel 9 million jobs created. They don’t feel that. They feel when it’s $10 more to fill your tank up or bread is up. They feel it, even if they’re getting paid more.”
