Rising Gas Prices

When I recently purchased a new car I decided it would be okay if I broke the mold and purchased a SUV.

I must say the sensation of climbing into a car instead of sitting down is great. What’s not so great is the rising gas prices – in fact in the six months I’ve had my car prices have risen almost 25% and nearing the $100/tank mark. More and more I have been thinking it will be time to trade in for something something a little more practical at the pump…

After all, the majority of my driving is two and from the office (11 miles each way) in the wonderful LA traffic. C2 and I do a great job at carpooling most days which helps with the gas budget. But when I am spending a Prius payment in Gas each month it’s going to be hard to keep my car.
