this just makes me sick, the price for reg. gas in MA is now at $2.16, is there a crude oil shortage??? WHY is going up & up? it went up like $0.17 in two days!
So how much is your local gas?
Back then I was commuting ~160 mi round trip a day, .99 a gallon on the Pa/NJ border and making $75,000 a year. I could not afford that commute now, I'd be spending $200 a week on gas. Even now looking for a new job I have to ignore the ones over 50 miles away. The homeowners here who were commuting to NY and points east have been defaulting and moving back to the city, jobs out here pay $10 an hour if you are lucky and even Mcdonalds and BK only pay a pittance over minimum wage.
My drive into the grocery store, the closest one is 22 miles round trip. and 30 to the best price gas in town which is now 3.25 for regular and 3.95 for diesel. I use about 1 tank of gas a week in the jeep.
