Wow You guys are lucky.... Eventhough I have an IS250 Auto (not to bad on gas), we pay around (coverted from liter to gallon to dollar) $9.38 a gallon here in the Netherlands!

Yikes! Although eventually we'll all be paying much more for gas than we do now in the US.

LoL!!! I also think I need to change my driving habits. I was getting 18+mpg, but now I'm getting lower then that. Idk if ts because I only drive it to work and home(which is a 3 minute drive for me) ever since I started using my other car. I use $30 a week so far compared to $60 - $90 a week before when i drove it everywhere on this island.

I also thought Hawaii had it bad. Highest I've seen so far is about $4.59.
