How much gasoline do you use?

Hey, Newsweek stole the very arguments I was making a couple of days ago, except I recall I said $8/gal, with excess profits subsidizing mass trans, 2-wheeled vehicle lanes, work from home jobs, alt energy, and other proactive research. Yes, I would complain about the price with everyone else but take a bit of comfort believing the bucks were going to a better cause than one industry's bottom line.

And gas consumption is up 18 percent from a decade ago.

I wonder how many more cars on the road from a decade ago?

I drive 750 miles per week just to go to work, I'm supposed to get a new car soon, a Toyota Yarris, supplied by the company I work for, but until then I have to ride my Jeep to work and it's costing me around $120.00 a week . That put a dent in the budget.

I just got a Yaris! I get about 33-35 mpg "city" driving, so hopefully it'll help you.

(Know those stupid commercials for...whichever car it is, that the people keep pulling up on the wrong side of the pump to get gas? Yeah. I keep doing that, cause I don't fill up nearly as often, and my gas cap is on the opposite side as my old car. Very embarassing. Ahem.)
