You guys are getting hit pretty hard with gas prices. Im paying $3.90
Lucky I live 1 mile away from work and school. I barely use my car (average 20mpg) now I just ride my bike.

I dont know if your local news has been talking about building an oil plantation in Florida (which I disagree on) thinking it will lower the nation gas prices. Do you think drilling oil will help lower it? And for how long?

I paid 4.099 for 89 almost three weeks ago. Monday I figure I'm going to have to fill it up again. $57-$60 every two and a half to three weeks is about the best I can do. I've modded the car as much as I can for better mileage and changed my driving habits. Between Hypermiling and combining my trips I've cut my yearly fuel use by about 400 gallons a year. That is 35% to 40% of the rate I was consuming it just two months ago.
Oh if you guys want to learn how to save money on your fuel bills you should go hang out over at Cleanmpg.com

Yall need to go Hybrid...or get a Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, Toyota Corolla. They are all 33+ MPG. I am getting the Corolla probably. I have a choice between those three.

I want a gas efficient little car. I have no need for hauling or power. However, up until this point I've been pretty much dependent on people providing me with wheels, and will be for a while longer, most likely.

The lowest I've seen it here in Arkansas is 3.81. I only buy about 30 bucks worth though, which means I go places even less than usual. It really sucks, but at least its making us not waste gas so much.

I hate it here I am going to make a De Lorean and I am going to go back to the time god was alive and tell him to make gas never exist and make a substitution for it.
