We're charged way more for bottled water that everybody buys and chugs down with no abandon. Or $2+ for a 12oz coffee. With how much I drive, it'* like my car is slurping a coffee in the morning, another at lunch, and a few bottled waters every day.

Doesn't matter though, we still pay and pay and pay.

You guys best not be complaining driving cars with 3800s I will slap you all.
$5 will be my limit with the truck. I average between 16-20 but still, it'll be time to park it for everything but necessary...and I'm either bringin the bonne down, or getting something DAMN efficient.

I will slap you all. By the end of summer, I'll have the Shadow done, and I'll be getting 30mpg, in a quicker car than the PA. The Buick will be my weekend and long trip car...

Yeah, it'* all relative. Everytime I fill up, I look at the extra money I'm using and say, damn, I could have used that to buy a pop if the prices were what they were two weeks ago...

The cost of gas now is one of the reasons that I don't get a "better" job - my drive time would nearly double to an hour to find decent work around here. It'* just not worth it. I'd consider taking a cut in pay just to find a job in my little town...
