As gas prices soar, people who drive less efficient vehicles are acutely feeling the pain at the pump.
One Jeep Wrangler driver recently shared how the high prices are making her feel. She’s not alone.
TikTok creator L. Woods (@theonlywavygoddess) posted a video with her gas price lament a few days ago. “Owning a Jeep with these gas prices,” reads the video’s text overlay.
The video shows Woods sitting in her Jeep as she fills the tank.
“Hey Jeep baddies,” she writes in the caption. “How much does it cost to fill your Jeep up?”
How Do People Feel About Gas Prices?
In the comments section of the video, other car owners revealed what they’re currently paying to fill up at the pump.
“It costs $50 for my Honda Civic, so I know y’all hurt,” wrote one viewer.
“I get 11 mpg,” said a second person. Woods replied, “My gawddd.”
A third person said, “I wanna return it, but I love my baby.”
Another person said they know Woods’ internal monologue at the pump because they have the same one. “Like, it’s still going, lord,” they wrote.
Someone else said, “At least it’s not a V-8.”
How Much Does It Take Fill Up A Jeep?
Americans don’t need to be constantly caught up on current events to know that there is a spike in gas prices due to the ongoing US war in Iran.
According to AAA, the average national price of a gallon of regular gasoline was roughly $3 a month ago. Today it's about $4. Diesel is also up nearly $.60 per gallon since the war started.
According to Jeep, the four-door Wrangler Rubicon is equipped with a 21.5 gallon tank. That means it would cost around $86 to fill up a tank at the current average. That’s about a 25% increase from a month ago.
Motor1 contacted Woods via TikTok comment and direct message. We also contacted Jeep parent company Stellantis via email. We'll update this if either responds.
