I paid $1.679 today for regular unleaded at Sam's Club, where I get a 3 cent discount off of the average price at surrounding stations, so We're looking at $1.70, $1.71 here in general. This is damn near the highest price I've ever had to pay for gasoline. I think I may have had to pay $1.80 during a brief spike a few years ago, but then I wasn't driving an Explorer at the time.

I still don't really know what my average gas mileage is as I've only had the beast two weeks, and for one tank I pulled my camper and a load of camping gear, and for another I had a back end full of PA gear. I'm guessing I'm going to average about 18 mpg when all is said and done.

Sort of figures that the first actual "gas guzzler" I've owned since the 70's would be at the time when gas hit a near-historic high here in KC.
