No but we did tell them they had one chance to make it in college and do it in 4 years. No professional college students. No college, they are on their own financially. The had the choice upon graduation from HS to join the military of their choice, or something similar where I do not support them, or go straight to college for 4 years. After that the money goes back to us. If they fail to complete college then all loans are theirs and they have to pay us back. If they finish the school we pay off the loans.

Wow, what an awesome deal, Merc. Will you adopt me?

Maybe when my son is old enough to drive, there won't be any college? Nah, that's not plausible.

Maybe we can work out an "exchange"? :bj: :bj2: :bj3: :bj4:
:D

60 MILES one way, unless i take the turnpike. then its more like 75.

$130 + or - in tolls per month, too.

fuel economy is important to me. When gas leaped up a dollar a couple summers ago, I had just taken a Titan for a demo. that hurt.

I live three miles from work. Less, maybe.

I don't actually know how much gas I use each week ... I use as much as I need. I don't keep track of it.

uh . . . how many gallons in a tank? :)

Unless I do a lot of extra driving, I fill up like once a month. My commute is only about 5 miles roundtrip per day. Not too bad for just me and my little Civic. So, I'm very lucky! Very, very lucky!

tax

Hurray, California sucks!

I bought a diesel jetta to save on fuel costs, but the cost of diesel has spiked so much it's destroyed any monetary savings I might have gained. bah.

That's 'cause you fly most of the time, though :p

Beest fills the Focus every week =12ish gallons, I fill the Windstar about every other week =23ish gallons.

at today's prices that's $88 a week.

We use Scrip to pay for our gas, though, so at least $3.50 of that goes to the school rather than the gas companies. but I'm a gas price ho. If another station's cheaper I will use that and the school can whistle for it :lol:

use www.gasbuddy.com to find the cheapest gas in your area.

It's funny -there are many of these images, and most iinclude prices for Regular of less than $2.50 :lol:

My work truck ( F350) gets 12.9 mpg , I drive on average 1000 miles a week , The tank holds 40 gallons , I generly fill up every other day , but some time twice a day , But the company pays for this gas .

My Wifes car ( Mitz Outlander ) gets in the high 20's low 30's , holds about 14-15 gallons , she fills up about every 2 weeks , we pay for this

LOL! I was just thinking about the "flying" thing today. It's just very "swoopy" and fun sometimes.

Is that because you're a Cloud? Or am I missing the point?

can I take the Fifth?
