It fluctuates here between $3.29 and $3.59 or so.
Tallahassee, Florida.
I have an 04' Honda Civic and could not be better blessed with a fuel efficient car. I drive 37 miles round trip to work everyday. So, it takes me $3.29-$3.49 a day just to get to work! I still have an old GMC 4x4 too because I need a truck for hauling. I live on the coast but it's 22 miles to the nicest beach.
I was just thinking I'd spend the $500.00 to put an above ground pool in the back yard. The truck gets 19 miles to the gallon so, to go to the beach one time would cost me nearly $8.00 at current gas prices and I can only imagine if it were higher. The truck is strictly for hauling hay, trash, and farm stuff.
I think it makes us realize how much "waste" we permit. Glad to see it making me slow down in a way. But the drive to work cost does stink.
My next car (when the Honda Dies) will be a Honda Hybrid - without a doubt!
