$60 got me a little over a 1/2 tank, but I was running around yesterday, and then after my FH went back and forth to work today...it's gone! It is crazy...$5.00 are you kidding?! I didn't see lower than $4.03. After I saw $4.10 I made sure I stopped for $4.03 because my light was on...ha! Self serve is a few cents cheaper if you don't mind pumping yourself. And forget it, with the holiday weekend, watch how it goes up even more!!

I always say, it's going to get to a point where people are not going to be able to afford to get to work!

and the worst part is that your job should raise your salary as the cost of living goes up! I haven't gotten a raise

I believe that! It's absolutely disgusting. I know, I actually hardly ever drive...once in awhile on the weekend. I spend a lot for the LIRR and Metrocards too. Otherwise, during the week, aside from him going back and forth to work and picking me up at the station, we don't even go out during the week. So, what more can you really do...aside from going hybrid?

Re: How are you ladies affording..

yea..these gas prices are just outrageous. I'm luckly because i only have to drive a few mins and then I take the train to work. FH on the other hand spends tons of money on gas and tolls. We could be saving all that money for the wedding!
