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!
yep..fh has a commute and a half..he travels from holtsville (which is near patchogue) to rockville center everyday! He recently started taking the train..he couldn't deal anymore

Re: How are you ladies affording..
I made the mistake of filling up from fumes (literally gas light was on for 3 days) and it cost me $85. I cant even begin to tell you what almost came out of my mouth! Luckily the school i teach in is one mine from my house but we took my car to the city yesterday and im already down to a half tank

It is sooooooooo bad I have a truck and it is killing me! 4.17 at one of the gas stations by my house! I drove to another one that was 3.99 it is terrible!
the cheapest i saw this morning was $3.97 and that was in the ghetto..and by afternoon i think the prices shot up again ..cause none were cheaper than 4!
I just filled my tank on Old Country Road in Hicksville and it was 3.97...(near Levittown parkway)

I wish FH could take the train! He drives from Jersey to the Bronx everyday, oh yea, and then from there to Queens a few times a week. It's the worst because he can only come see me a few times a week bc of the commute.

HOw long does the train take? The train from Westbury to Stony Brook is like an hour and 45 miinutes. It's ridiculous.

Re: How are you ladies affording..
When it takes over $50 to fill a 12Gallon Honda Civic, there's a problem. I'm glad I don't like too far from where I teach and FH and I can actually commute together, but it's still stupid.

its actually not that bad..its almost the same..55 minutes i think..but he always gets home late because he has to go by the schedule now, and can't go whenever he feels like it

Re: How are you ladies affording..
yeah, it's making me nervous too....i spend $8 a day ALONE on tolls....and fill up once a week just to make it to work. It comes out to over $400 a month that i am spending just to get to work!

If he works close to the train in RVC then it is so worth it. My building was a half of block so even in the freezing cold or scorching heat it was doable. The only good thing was if I drove my boss let me come in later so I didn't have to sit in traffic. But I totally feel you FH's pain.
I do 60 miles round trip a day -- it is horrible. Our only saving grace is FH works from home so only one of us is filling up every week!
