You don’t hve to give up anything.
All you have to do is buy a 1999 (Or newer) Volkwagen New Beetle (Or any other model) with a Diesel Engine.
You will save thousands of dollars over the years.

I didn’t have to give up a thing. I can still walk to work without paying an extra cent. But, I have noticed that there is a little more parking at the malls on Saturdays. So, I think I might have actually gained because of a rise in gas prices. I feel for you, I really do…

Extra driving and a little bit of everything else.

I had to give up speed! I just accelerate a little slower when the light turn green and drive at 65 mph instead of 75 on the highway. It seems little but if you make a lot of milage, you’ll save enough to make a difference!

Depends on your perspective. I see the cost of groceries being pushed through the roof. We have stopped buying steaks and fresh fruits & veggies due to the high prices. So far, we can still afford gas at the pump.

It costs $6.20 a gallon here in the UK
I’d have loads more to spend if it was the same price here as in the US.

I gave up visiting my sister & parents as often as I used to. I gave up all my weekend trips to NH since now I have to save up in order to go. I gave up a lot of shopping & now use grocery coupons religiously, haha. Gas is wicked expensive, especially when the drive to and from work is a little bit of a haul.

Time! I used to fill my tank and then drive away from the pump. Now I have to spend an extra 15 seconds adding Ethos FR fuel reformulator to my gas tank. This new additive increases my cars mileage by almost 15%. I now get an extra 44 miles out of every tank full. This new fuel reformulator was just released to the US public a few weeks ago after being tied up in govt. regulations for 10 years. You add a small amount of this formula to your gas tank every time that you buy gas. It increases your gas mileage by 7% to 19%. If you do the math, any mileage increase over 4% saves money in your pocket. It also makes older cars run better. The stuff has been tested by FOX News and NBC News affiliates. Check it out at .
