my electric car blew it's transmission a while ago (it's a 1995 Saturn pumping WAY more torque than ever intended...), and I haven't had the time to replace it. In the meantime, I've been commuting in my van. I try to fill up with 1/2 a tank so the pumps won't shut off at $100. I admit I don't really look at what the price/gallon is anymore, I know which station is always the cheapest and just go there and pump with my blindfold on. :)
My wife is still paying just $2.30/gallon for CNG in her Civic (which gets 35mpg), that's real nice with her 100 mile/day commute (which sucks, but sometimes you need to go where the jobs are!).
Sadly I've found that with old age, my van is needing 91 octane to prevent detonation when towing. Makes it even more expensive as I only get 8-9 mpg towing, and now have to buy premium! I suppose I should figure out what's going on with that, too... :R
