Default Anyone feeling raped by high gas prices?

I live in Laguna Niguel (So Cal) and prem gas here is $3.21/gallon. WTF?!! I normally end up driving to my parents' area to get gas there since it's about $3.09/gallon for prem. I drive on avg 60 miles/day so these gas prices are raping my wallet dry!

Anyone else feel the same? Has high gas prices also changed the way you drive? I try not to stomp on the gas pedal too often but it's hard to drive this car like a grandma...

Luckily I'm only 6 miles away from work and I get to carpool, but in Silicon Valley, gas is just as high. If you're not already, use a 5% rewards card like a Chase Cash Rewards card (5% on gas, groceries, and drugstores). Takes the sting away just a little (i.e. that $3.09 gas price is still under $3 w/ the rewards).

Aye, gas prices suck, and our beast of a 3.5L engine likes gas a lot. Aye, it is painful indeed.
