    my cost of going to work every day is $37.5 a month cuz i take public transport. No need to worry about tickets, no need to worry about parking, and plenty of excuses of blaming the bus for being late for work :D

    if i can afford it either a motorcycle or a 96-05 civic hx (45 mpg and its not a hybrid)

    at this time in my life i dont drive enough to justify having a second vehicle, and the gas savings would be overshadowed by registration / insurance on said second vehicle.

    Hell i recently went from a 4cyl mazda to my truck .... but without much worse mileage .... either something was wrong with the maz or the 3.4l v6 kicks that much ass!

    What about "Hydrogen powered kits" .. I live in L.A. and I'm seen more and more cars with the label on them. last one I saw was a hammer ... supposedly cuts gas use 40 to 60 % and I've seen the kits from around $600 to $1000.00
    What do you guys/ladies think.. ?

    Buy some sport touring tires for my R6 so the gas mileage might actually count for something. $180 for a rear tire every 4000 miles kinda offsets the 40 mpg. That and I'll probably keep paying it until I can't afford to function. Its just crazy what oil companies are doing to the world. I believe in free-enterprise and limited government, but I also believe in the responsibility of having incredible power and economic control and not abusing that power.
