I drive a V8 Dodge Ram 1500....lucky to get 12mpg.....when the price of gas was up here, I was spending over $100 for a tank of gas. Luckily I don't work & can stay home a lot...but there were times at the end of the month where I couldn't go anywhere & my truck would sit on empty in my driveway....I would have just enough gas in my gas can to throw into my truck when the next month check came in so I could get to the gas station.

When I volunteered at the Horse Park last month....I set aside $250 for gas that month just so I could volunteer....it was worth it.....but in reality, I paid dearly to volunteer.

With the price of gas down, it now runs me around $80+ for a tank of gas......it's a 25+ gallon tank.....so I do get a lot of gas....but with the bad mpg, it's a good thing it does have a huge tank otherwise I would be living in the gas station every time I drive by one.

Keeping the lawn tractor filled with gas for mowing is also adds to my monthly bills.

I need my truck for hauling my large horse trailer.......thought about buying a small car for driving around in, but then thought about the price & the monthly insurance that would cost....& thought...could just put that money into gas for the truck.....& it would at least buy a couple more tanks of gas during the month.......so I just still keep truckin only.

Have to admit, I love my truck.....it's got both the front & back seat. Everyone kids me about the truck being too large for me....a little 5'2" person who weighs about 100lbs driving this huge truck & hauling around a large trailer.....on well....love my truck..better than all the sports cars I have owned bad gas mileage & all.
