    How much are you spending on gas now?

    We have a small Ford Focus and I remember trying to squeeze $20.00 of gas in the tank not long ago. Now it seems like I go slightly over $30.00 every time. Doesn't sound like a lot but both me and the misses commute to work and log in about 100 miles every day so we need to get gas about 3 times a week. Gas in Santa Rosa is about $4.09 a gallon now and I am hoping this oil bubble will burst soon.

      damn Vegan !

      that's $360 a month ..... I don't have a driving licence so I use the public transport whenever I need to or the taxi (around $30 - $40) a month is more than necessary for me.

      :^)

      gas in romania is double the price as in most US states .... $2 per liter ... roughly $8 per gallon.

            I spend a little over $4 on gas every 10 days for so. I go about 105 miles on 1 gallon of premium. Get a Honda Ruckus GoVegan!

              I don't keep track of it ever. I need it, so whatever it costs I'm going to pay it and there is no point in stressing myself out about it.

              I don't go out much and walk or take public transport when i can.

                Let's see...

                I drive 40 miles to work 5 days/week. 400 miles plus say another 70 or so on the weekends and my car averages about 22.3mpg. That's 21 or so gallons. Gas here is now about $3.70 so that would make it about $78 bucks/week. $310/mo. Crazy.

                I recently (about a month ago) changed my driving habits significantly. My car used to average about 19mpg because of my lead foot so I've saved about $60 this past month on gas. I'm pretty much driving at 67mph on the highways and just being extra smooth in town to accomplish this. I used to always be around 80 on the highway and often faster. The downside is that I'm spending an extra hour in my car every week. It sounds like a lot but it's all broken up to be like 5 more minutes every trip...more time for snus and the radio the way I see it. Less stress too and people watching is cool too. Some roads don't allow this though...for the MA people...Rt. 128 is like a slot-car track if you're going 80 and anything less effs things up for everyone.

                  I drive a Kia....gas is 3.75 a gallon...it costs me over 40 bucks to fill er up.....I use a full tank every two weeks on average.

                  I don't drive much...mostly dragging the kids around town to school or their mother's house.. I walk to the stores, park, post office and make the kids walk.

                  Hey Roo, could I get two kids on the back of a ruckus?

                        $3.50 - $3.70 here in Hampton Roads. Just 3 weeks ago it was around 3.25 I think, I remember one morning I noticed it jumped about 15 cents overnight.

                            1.579 Euros per litre, that's 8.63 US-$ per gallon.

                            Cheers!
