Reply #4: It costs money to change lifestyles. I desperately need a new

[pooja]

car. I drive an old 95 jeep wrangler, no air, in Florida, at about 16 maybe mi/gal. I would love to buy a hybrid car... its not in the budget. I have to keep patching the one I have got. But on the plus side, i drive an avg on 8mi on my commute. My gas bill for one week is about $15.oo. I use about 5gal. a week. I may work for peanuts, but I also drive for peanuts. My husband on the other hand, is the one who must commute longer distances... and costs a fortune every week. If I were to upgrade my job status... I would upgrade the distance and the car... and I would probably avg. the same pay in the end.
