Purchased my truck in 1998 when gas was around 80-90 cents per gallon in my area. I'm now paying over $2.20. I can understand a little inflation, but this is getting out of hand.

I put about 24,000 miles on my truck per year. Most of my driving comes from the 2 days per week I have to drive to Nashville (my boss and I ride in the company car the other 3).

It is out of hand, but there's not a whole lot we can do about it. I think we've just come to accept that gas prices would be between $1 and $1.50.

My advice is that we all need to budget for higher fuel use.

Well, now I see why you were not kind to my time frame of a year ago. Sure, go back 7 years to get your "I'm paying $300 more a month!"

Why not go back to when gas was a nickle and really bitch about how much "more" your paying.
