That's pretty good, you must have a 5 mile daily commute!

We budget/spend $175/mo on gas (for the 92 SHO, and '95 Corolla), and most
of that is just for necessity travel (work, etc) and not just putting around
town (expensive to do these days!).  I run 87 in all cars.

The corolla gets ~32 mpg in town (stop and go) and with my wife (works the
night shift as a nurse) on the opposite schedule as me, we can usually both
use the same car during the day.  I've only driven the 92 a couple of times
in the last couple of weeks.

At current prices, some of these folks with multiple SUV's parked in the
driveway, monthly gas bills must be like mortgage payments :)
