We used to spend about $100/trip on gas to drive from IL to WV (two tanks each way).


So you have an 8 gallon gas tank?

I guess we usually fill up the tank when it's still about 1/4 full. We made the trip as recently as May.

There are disadvantages. Especially working in a public service job. People start recognizing you, and it makes it hard to run to the grocery store in your pajamas. And if I do that, I'm guaranteed to see someone I know.


I don't work in public service but my city is small and you always run into to someone you know no matter where you go.

Never said that was the only reason.
