More for less = the same.

I recently sold my 25 to 28 mile to the gallon 88 Honda Accord, for a 16 to 18 mile to the gallon Jeep Wrangler. At first I was concerned about the increase in gas money it would cost me every week. I drive about 50 miles round trip to work a day. So you can see how this would be a concern of mine. Lucky for me gas has gone from almost $4 a gallon to $2.39 a gallon today. My car would go for a week on a tank of gas that would cost about $40.  Today a tank of gas for my Jeep was $41 and it will last a week. The Jeep takes more gas, but now it costs the same amount to fill up as my car did. It's probably not a good thing the stocks are crashing, but I'm not spending more money on gas so that's cool.
