probably a little over a hundred bucks...

nothing to brag about. I pay 200 bucks for car insurance, it sucks! blah blah blah

I'm going to have to start paying an increase in rent... damn, college students these days are so poor.

NOW HOW COME MY HIGH SCHOOL DIDN'T TEACH ME HOW TO INVEST right!! instead I spend all my money on stupid stuff for my car and PC garbage. hahaha

dude, you know what's awesome? asking your manager for a gas card - hahaha, "BUT I NEED TO GET TO WORK BI-!"

If the old clunker dies, I'm dead in the water. It will have 200,000 miles by end of the year.
No. You can't afford to NOT have a better mileage car. Even selling that vehicle for a cheaper vehicle with better mileage will save you hundreds of dollars a month.

A mid 90s Prizm would cost ~$2000-$2500. And it'll save you $500/month. In 4-5 months the thing would pay for itself. In 1 year, the gas savings would earn you a a free Prizm plus a free $3500. How can you afford NOT to accept the free Prizm and free $3500 every year?

But what the hell would he have to complain about then? :laugh:

at $2.50/gal I'd say $50 a month.

I just filled up yesterday. It was a pleasure to pay only $2.19/gal. :)
