    I haven't purchased gas in almost a year. Love the public transit system in NYC. Not even sure what a gallon of gas costs right now. I would have thought that SoCal would have had a better transit system!


    I hear that a Gallon of Gas IS cheaper than a Gallon of STARBUCKS COFFEE.
    Glad I drink the sludge at work :D

    well then we'll never see ya out here in so cal.....it's almost impossible to live here without driving :)

    so I hear. I couldn't handle it seriously. My car hasn't moved from it's spot in weeks. I say I use it about once every 2 weeks on average to do big grocery trips or visit my parents in the suburbs. If I didn't already own this car, I would probably just use zip car.

    Right now projections for spring are pointing towards and average cost for regular gas of $3.40. In my opinion gas prices are only going up long term. Some people are really going to have to adjust their thinking when it comes to what kind of car to buy and where to live.

    The price of Gas is really starting to have an effect on how I plan things out for things I may want to do on the weekend or places I may want to go.
    Gas has become so expensive I really have to Budget out the mileage for a full tank of gas. I really can't afford to fill up more than 1 and a half times for week. That will usually get me to work and back for the week with a little to spare. If I wanna go somewhere with the gas that is left in my tank, if it's too far milewise and I have to purchase more gas.........I'm not going.



    I'm seriously going to start looking into alternative transportation.
    I wish there was a better system in So Cal for alternative transportation.

    I have a flex fuel car. Ethanol is about $2.04 per gallon at the moment. Praise the maize!
