My truck is a hauler only. I use it maybe once a month. Two years ago I bought a hyundai elantra. Great mileage, 32 city and I have gotten up to 44 hwy but average 38. I was at a stop light yesterday and a hummer did pull up next to me. I gave him the and he shook his head. $40K vehicle that probably cannot be sold to anyone with a brain.

Gasoline is not the only fuel that has skyrocketed. I burn wood for heat but I always check my nat. gas bill. April of last year the temp avg. was 2 deg warmer than April 08'. I used 1.7 therms/day at a cost of $1.89/day. April 08' I used .8 therms/day and the cost was $2.23/day. Lots of folks are gonna be hurtin' next winter if this keeps up. Thank God I don't use propane!!
