[Shotimes] Gas

[Rick Glass]

I actually drive quite a bit.  I bought the '99 with 31k on 8/1/03....19 
months later it has 68k.  34 miles round trip for work 4-6 days/wk, plus 
running my daughter to and from wherever, GF's house is 15 miles round trip 
(whenever we can get together).  It adds up.  $440 for right at 3 months is 
$146/mo...for just me in one car, I didn't count the gas in the '73 
truck....seems like it gets 8 gallons to the mile...you can almost watch the 
needle move.  It's parked.
