Wife took new job close to my work...we ride together. Otherwise wouldn't have THAT much impact.
It is getting expensive though...last week:
Thursday filled up our Mini $47.44 (11 gal)
Saturday filled up Coupe GT $53.40 (12 gal)
Sunday filled up A6 $71.66 (17.5 gal)
and 2 lawnmower gas cans $41.02 (10 gal)
Adds up!
Only thing that pisses me off is Missouri is now 10% ethanol no matter what. No labels on the pumps either!

Being more selective when i mash the go pedal, otherwise rebudgeted
Pretty sure many have done the same, and small business owners suffer hence they cannot compete with megastores' supersales.

Doesn't change a thing. If I'm that close to the edge, then there are plenty of other things
that make as great is not greater impact. For example, my utilities have gone up 30%. The grocery bill has gone up 20 to 40%.
Fuel costs are integral to so many things on so many levels it isn't funny. End use in a car is the least of my worries.
