What is your areas current gas prices?
When I was still working for a living, my daily commute was at least 120 miles per day, sometimes as high as 240 miles per day, round trip.
I certainly wouldn't be able to afford to drive my truck all that way, so until I retired, I always drove 4 cylinder beaters.
But even back then (10 years), I was using anywhere from 75$-150$ per week for fuel costs. Had to fill the tank ever other day.
Today, fuel in Danxville is 3.84$ for unleaded. Up 50 cents in a week.
To be honest, I've stopped paying attention to what fuel prices are. I need it, I stop, fill the truck up, and pay for it. I also budget my fuel and plan my errands and shopping as efficiently as possible so I'm not running across town multiple times if I can help it.
Up untill the end of the year when I retired I was driving a hundred miles a day on my work commute. A few year's back when gas hit $4 buck's a gallon I was spending $24 buck's a day for gas. I don't miss that!
Filled up today @3.55$ per gallon. St. Louis, MO
Yea, the messed up part is actually getting another car is so much cheaper than putting fuel in the truck haha. What a shame
87-$3.79
89 e10-$3.69
92-$4.08
