Last two fillups for my truck $101 and $98. I put in around 31 gallons or so both times. I have a 95 saturn with 200K+ on it that i normally drive to work, but I needed to do some work to it so I drove the truck. Just by drivng the car durning the week, I save $325 a month on gas alone. It's crazy
Im spending 400 amonth and thats if I only drive to work, also that was last month before the price jumped again...Gawd only knows what its going to run me this month!
I have a nice trruck payment to let it hang out in my driveway as I can not afford to drive it everyday without making some sacrafices. It really irritates me.

That's about where i am as well and I'm REALLY starting to wonder how bad it's going to get and what I'm going to hafta do in order to be able to afford to drive.

I own my truck outright so I'm good there, but it's costing me 400 bucks a month. Am I better off getting a smaller car, having a car payment, yet saving a helluva lot on fuel?

That's where I'm at right now. If diesel continues to rise, I might find myself in the market for a car. [:@]

That is why I still have my mini van, but I should not have to keep a spare car because of the b.s. price of oil

I think I would cry if I had to sell my truck. And we are talking actual tears

$90 to $100 every 2 weeks to fill up BLOWS. If I didn't need my truck every day for work, I'dget a little gasser as a daily driver. It's a viscious circle, fuel goes up, my overhead goes up,the prices I have to charge to cover go up then at some point I am gonna get priced right out ofmy contractingbusiness[:@]

I wonder if this S#!T is ever gonna end. One things for sure, if prices stop going up, you can bet they won't be going back down.
