I have a Toyota Corolla and I get, consistently, 31 miles to the
gallon, city and highway combined.
Do I get pissed off that it costs me $28.00 to fill up instead of
$20.00? Sure, but the $8.00 is not THAT big a deal.
I know someone who has to spend $100.00 per fill-up for his
cool "truck"...you know, one of those monstrosities you see all the
time on the highway. This is killing him.
BUT: he has no one to blame but himself.
