Obviously the prices have risen yet again due to the explosion of the refinery in Texas City, TX.
We finally hit the $2.00 mark this past week or so in the North Dallas, TX area. I saw it was $2.01 for regular unleaded today.
My husband and I both drive Toyota's and must fill our tanks weekly.
I based my buying decision on my vehicle for it's good gas mileage. I get approx. 30-32 mpg, but I still must fill my tank once per week because of my daily commute for work.
We are on a tight budget and approx $200 of our monthly income goes toward fuel for our cars. Carpooling is not an option for us because we work in different towns and have slightly different work hours.
If I could have afforded a Toyota Prius (and if they weren't backorded for 6months!) I would have bought one.
At approx 50mpg.....it's amazing!
The idea of driving a huge vehicle which gets 10-20mpg is not for me. It's not just the gas prices, but our natural resources I'm worried about.
