I'm guessing the title is hyperbole but it's still kinda ridiculous even for hyperbole lol.

Nope.. we were chatting and I was saying it's nuts that 80$ to fill my suv.. He then responded its 80$ for him to go to work and back.. So he may be exaggerating but I'm just passing the message...

He might wanna see a mechanic because a vehicle, even a truck, should only cost 80 bucks for a trip like that if it's leaking gas the whole way.

Unfortunately, I see it pretty much everywhere.
