Yeah my 50trim'd 99GSX actually gets better mileage than my daily which is a Grand AM. Of course if i'm not hot rodding at all in the Eclipse.

Truthfully, i should bitch about everyone but i look at the long haul, not just gas i consume, price of goods, food, heating in the winter, economy in general. One business hurting can affect many businesses.

...and it's really hard to compare us to other countries by saying that we could be paying $5 a gallon like they are. They might be paying way cheaper on something else. Take MN and WI for example. You have no tax on clothing, gas tax is about 17 cents cheaper. However, our cost of living is by far cheaper. My $475/mo. rent payment is better than the $890/mo apartment when i lived there. A 100k gets you a dam nice house here whearas it don't go far over there. It sucks because i want to buy a house next spring and the fed keeps raising interest rates because of all this.
