$2.10 here yesterday and going up, unfortunately I drive 40 miles each way to work. We moved before gas prices went up and boy it is killing my budget. I try to not be waste it but I need almost 2 tanks a week,I drive a Chevy Tracker so it is a small car. cau

t was $1.72 at the exxon that is having a price war with a wawa across teh street from it. the 2 of them are usually 10-20 cents cheaper than the other gas stations in town. when prices go up more, dh will take my car to work and i'll walk to work. it's half a mile for me and i walk on nice days anyway. dh works in another town so he has to drive. i hdrive a dodge neon and he drives a grand caravan so my car gets better gas mileage. if he ever teaches me to drive the van i can use it on my errand day, and i can usually do all of my errands on 1 day.

Good for you Gayle! More people need to find their social conscience!

I WISH I could do the same thing (take the bus and/or walk to/from work). I will just continue to drive my Toyota (abt 25 mpg -- it should be BETTER but that's another story) and be sure to consolidate all trips and eliminate unnecessary ones.

Gas leapt last week from $1.75 to $1.81 although some stations are $1.89. Some stations even have their premium priced at the same as the 87 octane. Now that is weird.
