I'm, pretty much, hosed. I drive an average of 150 miles a day for work. I get the standard mileage rate, but that is based on last year's cost estimates ,$0.585 I'm thinking break even per mile now is closer to $0.80. It's going to be a long year at this rate. Of course, once the recession kicks in, I should be traveling a lot less...

No, but I anticipated this a year ago and went from a F-350 getting 6 mpg to a Ford Ranger that gets 18 mpg around the farm

Gonna use the wife’s hybrid more gets 40 mpg. You know it's shameful the milage those things get. Back when I was in collage I drove a 92 Saturn SL1. It got 40mpg city 45 highway, without having to do all the hybrid crap. If they were capable of that back then just imagine what they should be able to do today with technological advancements. But all they have advanced is the price of the vehicles the mpg at best has been stagnate, to me it seems to have actually declined.

Yes. A lot more conscious about making every trip count. Try to make every trip to town count and get everything I need. Yep, time to start buying beer by the case instead of 12 packs.

I drive like I'm on probation. That's because you are. Have they taken down the posts of him at the Post Office yet ?
