We've crossed the $3.50 a gallon mark

I didn't think it would happen this fast. But, I was wrong. While driving on Route 74 today, I glanced up at a gas station's sign and saw that the price for a gallon of regular gas had hit $3.55. Other stations that I passed this afternoon advertised the same price. To me, gas used to be something I would pick up on my way to work and not major expense. Now, I find myself budgeting about $50 a week for gas. Have you started budgeting for fuel? What have you given up to fill your tank?

what have I given up? I gonna give up my job and go on welfare. If the government is going to let big oil screw us and raise rates on oil and let gas be whatever exxon wants them to be, I cant afford to drive to wrok, so I wont, then they can tak care of me. God, we need a revolution, take to the streets people, I am so F*&#%*ng mad, no one is doing a damn thing,
Where is Harrisburg???
Where is Washington??

I've always budgeted for fuel, but I've watched it go from $80 to a month to a number I can't keep track of. My fiance and I switched vehicles so he could drive my fuel efficient sedan to Baltimore for work daily. We'll buy another fuel efficient vehicle and we'll leave the truck in the driveway.
