I'd be happy to pay $7 a gallon if I could get the same amount of vacation time and hours a week that many Europeans get. Two weeks a year and 40+ hours a week is BS!!!

The roads here are lousy with smart cars. They can't sell them fast enough. In the bldg next door, a guy has one. (looking at it through the window right now.

Everyone loves them.

Not selling them in the US though....

Many times that comes down to either having a job or not having a job. The work mentality in this country has become such that if you won't work those hours they'll find someone else who will...so until I can become my own boss...I'm kinda stuck :(

I'm rural so I have to drive just about everywhere..........I'll just go with the flow and limit my trips. If it gets really stupid I'll talk to my boss about doing 4 10 hour days and working one of those days from home.

You *can* make it work. It just takes the right job and the right boss. Oh, and a "devil may care" attitude. :p

Oh - and you have to sacrifice toys and other stuff that costs money.

i wonder if mr. bush and his cronies b1tch about the price of gas ??? :dancing: :nuts:

Tell me if I am just talking out of my ass BUT... They drive the big Suburbans, at least like 3-5 at a time when the presedent travels. When gas prices go up, Does it REALLY effect the Presedent. Does the White House have its pre-paid gas card that our taxes actually pay for? Does he care that I spent almost 70 dollars to fill up my car this morning? I have "heard" of "Farm Deisel" which is about $1.50 and is not as good for your engine, but effects won't show. These are the times I got the Ram 2500 instead of the 1500, there is a "Farm Deisel" tank around here. It is VERY illegal, and if you get cought, the Gov't will charge you around $10 every mile on your car.

I am planning on a new car in the next 1-3 months and all of a sudden a 100hp TDi vehicle is MUCH higher on my list of possibilities.
Hope you can find one - they're getting hard to get. I bought mine last year and love it.
