Are Gas Prices Hitting You Hard?

Post by racketboy »

Luckly, I don't drive very far to work. I think it just mainly effects me by all the stuff we purchase that gets shipped everywhere....

I imagine many of you get hit harder.....

I currently put in $20 every 2 weeks. I dont do a lot of driving. Having no job helps that. Kansas stays about 13 cents below the national average at all times, also.

I live pretty close to work and the house I'm moving into next month will be even closer. Still, I have a lot of friends and family who live an hour away so I do feel the effects of wallet rape from time to time.

I drive about 32 miles or so every day, more when I travel on the weekends. But I drive an early 90's Civic hatchback, so the gas mileage is great - my personal best was 46 mpg! I can get down to 34 mpg if I drive a lot in the city...

I own a muscle car and the big V8 was a bitch on fuel so I went and bought a second smaller car just to go to and from work and to do run around shit. I only drive my big car when I want to have fun.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

It would be tearing me a new one if I had classes over the summer. Come the fall I'll end up making the hour drive down and back again 2 days a week. Then I'll be hurting again.

Seems like everyone should be driving scooters now instead of those mega-SUVs. :roll:

I yeah I remember back when people said they would stop driving once it hit $3. Then it was with $4.
I see a few more scooters now, but I'm still amazed how many SUVs are around.
I love my Corolla.
