Economy's just fine.
If you can't afford a vacation, get a second job like mudslinger did. 
Working at a Grocery Store, every now and then i'll ask people if they're considernig horse and buggies (if i know they have horses). More and more say they really are considering something of that type. Except feed wouldn't be any cheaper than gas.
At which point, I think bikes are getting more common. I need the excersize anyways, except i'm in the middle of nowhere. Riding a bike to work would work if it wasn't 15 miles away.
Last fuel run I averaged around 18.5-19 MPG.

I see more people walking and riding bikes. It's too bad Charles County doesn't put in more sidewalks or anything for people to be able to walk safely.
My car's the safest transportation option I have. I'm less likely to get run over in that, because we've seen how the common average Waldorfian dumbass tard obeys the "Pedestrians always have right of way" laws.

I'm getting about the same, but more than half of my drive is sitting in red lights.

Did you hear about the guy who was ticketed for doing that on I95? He was going only 50 mph and the trouper asked him what he was doing. He looked at his guages and said that he was getting 69 mpg. The trouper then handed him the ticket and said that the speed limit isn't just there for the faster cars, but for the slower ones as well. A car going 50 mph on a road where the majority of them are traveling 70 mph is a rolling hazzard that can cause big damage.

Not too bad. I have 37 paid vacation days saved up. Only one job. I'm working tomorrow, too (Saturday, time and a half). Sometimes ya gotta do what ya can to get the overtime.
So is that Milka Duno's idea? "If I go slower and become a rolling chicane, i can win the fuel mileage races and people will think my communist gasoline is real efficient"

Yeah, that's probably what she's thinking, but she'll end up being slammed into the wall, not knowing what hit her.

If i could get overtime every week that would make up for most of the high fuel prices, but unforunately in my department i can't get OT. Been bidding to get out and into a 5 day work week 8 hour job instead, but those are far a few between. Working a 12 hour day shift has its' advantages as far as days off, but OT is one thing you miss out on.

$7? that is insane...gas prices haven't gone up near me in like a week and I sadly want it to stay that way for as long as possible.
Paid $4.69 today for the cheap grade....ow.
