Many vehicles are now filling up tanks with a hefty $100 price tag.

It's a new idea that's quickly growing old for drivers filling up big vehicles. At $4 a gallon, a Ford Expedition fills up with a cost of $112 dollars. A Cadillac Escalade goes for $12 dollars more. 

As gas prices hit record highs, Mary Scott's done all she can to avoid being part of this history. "I've been on "E" for five miles, looking for a cheap price, but there was none to be found."

She settled for $4.02, grudgingly. "Oh my God, $71.56, never never paid that. It's frightening!"

Van driver James Robinson's bill went from zero to $106 dollars in just 26 gallons. "What can you do, just have to accept it and keep going."

Multiple pumps show people can't bear to pay a penny more than $100, some are stopping a few pennies less. 

"My wife came within 36 cents of the $100 fill-up," said one motorist. 

" I could be doing a lot with $100," said another.

Handyman Moses Sequeira is paying $4.99 a gallon for his pickup's diesel. When asked how long did he think he could keep going with the prices, he replied, "I don't know, I don't know, maybe a couple of months, I gotta stop."

Ray Molden decided the only way to avoid paying $104 to fill up his Expedition, was to pay $70 and settle for two-thirds of a tank.

If gas prices continue to rise, the $100 dollar mark is going to become uncomfortably close for most drivers. At $5 a gallon, filling up a Toyota Camry would cost about $93. It's no wonder gas demand dropped nationwide about five percent last week compared to the same week last year.
