They typically hold 20-36 gallons.

In 2024, gasoline averaged $3.30 per gallon. That's $118.80 to fill up a 36-gallon tank. With today's national average being $4.06, that comes to $146.16 to fill up now. If we go by the $4.50 price in the meme, then it would be $162.

Gasoline is $5.66 and I see a lot more people are stopping at some fixed dollar amount rather than filling their tanks.

That might be a useful statistic. It could be an indication that people are living closer to the edge.
