    Swap the F150 for a prius.

    Roll less coal

    I’m being mean. Your country is damn big. But your fuel is hella cheap. Do you drive 200 miles per day?

      I don’t drive one of the giant brotrucks that I see daily, those guys are absolutely fucked. Gas is $4 where I am, but I expect it over $5 by the time summer hits and those assholes with their 8mpg highway are going to be hurting

      I drive like… 200 miles every 2 weeks or so in total? I fill up once a month and at current prices that’s about $60 for my car

      It depends on the area, but it’s not uncommon to drive more than 30 or 40 miles a day for a work commute in California (especially if you’re trying to live in a cheaper area away from where the jobs are located).

      At my university, one of my professors told me his commute to campus was about 2 hours, so I’d interpet that to an easy 50 miles from his home (my 4 hour commute to move onto the campus was roughly 100 miles)
