Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler was absolutely shocked when he saw his total gas price and he needed to complain about it to anyone who would listen.
Butler, who signed a three-year contract extension worth $146.4 million in 2021, shared a cheeky video filming his reaction when he saw the price that it would take for him to fuel his vehicle.
He isn’t alone, of course. Last year, a survey conducted by Monmouth University suggested that the majority of Americans feel it is difficult to afford gas for their cars.
It’s unclear why the six-time All-Star, however, was so surprised. Butler revealed in the video that he drives a Bugatti — which is one of the most expensive car brands in the world.

WARNING: This video contains language not suitable for work:
“This is highway [expletive] robbery. I’m trying to get some of this gas back. Wow. Do you think if I went in there and told them I put the wrong gas in here they would give me a refund? This is crazy. I’m going electric. Can ya’ll believe it cost $145 to fill up a Bugatti? This is crazy. Unheard of, man. Bugatti’s, man.”
For what it is worth, the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport is considered to have the worst fuel economy of any car. It could cost around $10.86 to drive 25 miles for an owner of this vehicle.
It is unclear whether or not Butler was actually frustrated by the gas price or just wanted to make a silly video for his followers on Instagram.
Either way, it felt relatable to see his frustration while fueling up a vehicle. We have a feeling, though, that this shouldn’t put too much of a dent in his monthly budget.
