    lol With it being 3.51 a gallon were I am at in Delaware and I got 2 vechiles and a fixed income ( no over time for me ) I dread starting any grass cutting like I done in the years past for some of the eldery ( and my exercise) this year. I got to drive about 100 miles one way t ocut my mothers and grandmothers now and in the truck it takes about 2/3 a tanks (of 21 gallons)
    I remember spending 20 bucks to fill up my first truck (from dead empty cause we ran it dry while it sat after my grandfather first past away )and had enough to get my lunch and a magazine back in 2000 and I had put premium in the truck and it was 16 gallon tank lol.. I hate the being disable ( not like I can work for some over time to cover any fuel expenses ) the grass cutting bearly cover cost before and now it will be a losing battle.

    3.78 here, but with a 10g tank and 38mpg, i don't do too bad, now if i could get a local job, I'd be set.
    As it is, I do 536miles a week for work

    Id love to own a gas saver but i need the 4WD for the winters.

    I have AWD and manage to get 23 or so city and 30 highway. Not too bad. I know from experience that it is good in 12+ inches of snow as well.

    Oh my gosh....I'm glad we aren't that high yet. Pretty soon I'm going to have to rethink making more money by driving 20 miles to work every day. I might make more working for minimum wage in town if I don't have to pay for gas!!! :tears:

    Ya i know plus everyone says it all about having good tires too lol. I would love to downsize a little bit but right now i dont really have the time to lol. I'll probably stick it out for awhile. I would love to get something like a honda element! Those are AWD and only a 4 cyl. Plus the amount of cargo space in the back is unreal!

    Yeah mine is 4x4 too and my transfer case is busted so I think I'm losing a lot of gas to drag from that thing...

    But I'm going to get a new one with my tax return! I'm so excited haha
