How is this affecting all of you? If you think $4.00 is right around the corner, watch out as I suspect we'll be seeing higher rates in the summer as they always jack the prices up
Personally, I'm on the road visiting clients daily so I have to drive a lot and the recent explosion in gas prices are definitely killing me. I don't drive the 4runner (never intended to anyway) and even with my ultra reliable Honda Accord it's definitely taking a toll. I've always thought about picking up a Prius but the cost benefit didn't fit the bill and still does not. (buying a Prius and making payments vs a paid Accord... just doesn't add up). Maybe an old Mercedes Benz diesel w/ a bio conversion?
At any rate I'm already penny pinching and definitely trying to save as much money as I can in this rough economy and the daily living expenses are just getting painful. I'm just lucky that I don't have a large overhead (no family and all) but I know many of you are married with children so I'm really sure you guys are feeling more of the pain that me.
So how are you guys managing these rough times? It's only getting worse so I'm all ears. I know that this will eat into our trips/vacations but we all need to survive so what you guys doing to save a few here and there for the offset in the fuel prices?
