At 7 MPG I worry alot. That said a 30 minute drive puts a 12 hour grin on my face. By my calculations that is way cheaper than therapy. Now if the cost of high test would go back down I could have 45 minute sessions instead! Seriously I don't care about fuel cost and enjoy my truck and the only thing is I enjoyed it more a year ago. My income hasn't changed as costs rise. I would rather wear out the motor than let it rust from fuel costs. I filled up the other day and quit looking after $75 and just filled the tank with high test. Most of my vehicles hold 30+ gallons.
