Glad you can run yours on hope. I filled our Xterra up yesterday for $70.60. That’s the first time I’ve ever paid over $70 to fill up any vehicle. It costs me $60 to fill up our Accord, which gets 28 mpg. Thankfully we have to fill up only every other week.

Errr, maybe I meant to say I'm hoping my car will run. It's got a lot of miles...

I started a telecommute job a few weeks ago. I’ve gone from burning $100+ week to $25/week and am lovin’ it!

We’re very disappointed in our econobox we just bought. My husband got in a wreck and totaled our mustang that had been paid off for 6 years. We go out and replace it with an 07 Mazda 6 that was advertised as getting 32 mpg on the highway. My husband drives almost all highway to work and has kept a log and the car gets 25 mpg. We could have gotten an 07 mustang that gets almost that.

It costs us $69 to fill up our new little econobox and when we bought our Yukon XL in 04, it cost $60 to fill up. It now costs more to fill up that little 4 cyclinder than it did 4 years ago to fill up that big gas hog. When we’re all riding mopeds, we will still be getting told we need to cut back.
