So take that you price gouging fuel companies! This girl's taking a stand. I have had enough of your $3.60/gal for premium fuel nonsense and have traded in my gas guzzler for...that's right...a hybrid. My 34 miles to the gallon won't have a huge impact in the land of never ending profits (otherwise known as the ridiculously lucrative fuel industry), but lets just take a quick glance at the numbers of all this, shall we? Previously, I fueled up every 4 days with premium at approx. $80 a pop. Now, I'm back to the good ole 87 octane AND I shouldn't need to fill up for 12, that's right folks, atleast 12 days, at a meager $55/tank! That's a savings of $463 big ones per month, not to mention a whopping $5,550/yr! Talk about chump change, I should put that into a savings account and maybe then we could buy a Rhino. :) Oh, just think of the possibilities.
The downside to all of this is that Dev's truck, which we are so very grateful to have back, takes diesel at a loving $4.10/gal. Gag me. Well, you win some, and you lose some more I guess.

We will have to chat about what you got, we are definitely tempted. The gas just keep getting worse and worse! We will miss you at the gas pump.
Good for you . . . you environmentalst! :) Not to mention saving on gas money sounds great too!
Congrats on the new car. All I have to say is you guys are complaining about gas prices down there while I am here in Canada paying 1.20 per liter yes that is $4.80 a gallon and that is for the lowest octane!!!! We are looking into getting a smaller car also as it costs us over $100 to fill up the truck... Which hybrid did you get?
Holy smokes Rae! I guess that's the cost benefit of moving to such beautiful country. :) We bought the new Camry Hybrid (Toyota). It's definitely different driving a car, sedans aren't the flashiest breed around, but the technology on the car is AWESOME. It's like a computer on wheels! Love that. With the exception of backup cameras and memory seats, it has everything the infiniti had and more. My absolute favorite feature is the smart key, you never need a key to run the car, it automatically detects the clicker, you push the start button and away you go. :) I also love the bluetooth, it's way better than the infiniti's and you can download your phone book to the car. Fun stuff.
Is Devin in love yet?? :)
Fancy, shmancy. Maybe you should get Devin to switch to a hybrid truck. Probably wouldn't have enough muscle for him, but if ONE hybrid saves you over $400 a month, think about what two would do. Talk about rollin in the dough.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
