But it cuts in to other things we have to pay for: food, medical visits, dental visits, utility bills, and some others. Oh well.
I wonder how much the people in Europe drive, compared to use of their public transportation systems.

We bought a new house closer to my wife's job because I knew gas was gonna go berzerk. We are down to 19 miles from 45. And much closer to "stuff". We used to live in the middle of nowhere.

I've had a million sedans, half a million coupes, and a quarter million SUV's. This one car is like a combination of all of them.
