Gas prices

[TheMercenary]

Still down at 2.85 here. I heard a great rant by a financial planner the other day on the radio. Basically he said that buying a car or keeping a car that got a huge difference in gas milage really was not worth it unless you drove thounds of miles a month as part of your work. The cost to you personally was not worth making a big deal out of it. If you want a car with a huge gas milage savings of say 50mpg that is one thing, but the difference between owning a car that got 18mpg and 28 mpg really made no financial difference. If you do it because it makes you feel better about saving the world that is one thing, but unless all the trucks, cars, 18 wheelers, factories, and coal fired plants get on board at the same time you are not really having any effect on the world. Further people who drive 10 miles to save 5 cents per gallon are not really saving that much money. Some interesting thoughts....
