Here in Oregon, it's aboot $2.90 for expensive gas.. which would be less if only Oregon would give up on the stupid law that says we can't pump our own gas, we have to pay extra for the privelage of having a hung-over ex-con working for minimum wage bump the side of our cars 5 times with the nozzle before he finally gets it in the hole.. But I also agree with what GTA said..
seeing one person in an Escalade or an Excursion, by themselves, is crazy. One person could just as easily be transported in a Focus--or a V6 Mustang! And get double the fuel economy, or more. If you have a real need for the utility of a full-size SUV, great, go nuts. But using a beast like that, by yourself, as a work-to-home commuter is crazy. Now I'm not a tree-hugger liberal by any means, but come on, using a vehicle that gets maybe 14 mpg as a commuter when you could be getting twice that in a much cheaper vehicle is BS. There, that's my spouting off for the month. Feel free to tear it to shreds.
