$2.00/gallon, yeah it is more than I WANT to pay, but you do have a choice. Ride a pedal bike, motorcycle, walk, run, carpool etc.
I find it funny that people pay $1-$2 for a bottle of water at the gas station but then complain how expensive gas is. That bottle of water equals around $11-$22/gallon. How about beer, even if you find a case of beer on sale for $9.99, that still equals $4.44/gallon. 12oz bottled beer after Happy Hour $2.50/bottle, equals almost $27.00/gallon. A 20oz bottle of pop at the gas station is usually around $1.19 plus tax, that is over $8/gallon. Check milk prices lately?
The price of gas is what it is, it doesn't do any good to complain about it and in my opinion, it makes you look stupid when you pay for it and complain at the same time buying that bottle of water or pop.
Basic maintenance will get you the best mileage. Oil changes, air filter, tire pressure, reduce unnecessary weight, don't speed, don't brake hard, don't accelerate hard etc.
