It's ridiculous. Gas prices around here have doubled in the last year. It's bullshit. For me, any of my cars get around 28-30mpg on the highway. We try to make our outings "worth it." I drive 25 or so miles one way to work. At $3.27/gal, it's about $6.50 or more just to get to work and back. That's not quite 10% of my take home pay. I do own three cars, the best fuel mileage car is my 88 horsepower 1995 Ford Escort and gets about 31mpg on the highway. The worst is my 275 horsepower 1997 Oldsmobile, and it get's 28mpg on the highway. I drive the Olds on the highway a lot, 'cuz I like it.
