with the gas crunch as bad as ever, the people that will be hit the hardest are those not making that much money. as such a lot of us younger people probably arent making all that much money anyways. im 18 and a fast-food worker (though ditching that job for another here soon), so i was wondering, how is everyone else doing?

for me, gasoline is a large portion of my paychecks. i have cut down on buying stuff and dont drive around as much as i do, but with gas as it is, im afraid there isnt much more i can do to divert more of my income to gas. its 10 miles from my house to town, and driving back and forth is something i dont really like to do unless its for work or hanging out with my friends (which is a problem as many of them dont drive and usually want me to drive them around, something ive had to put the hammer down on as well).

thinking about the cost of it, i burn as much money as i did when i drove my dads F350 (10mpg and gas at 2.60/gal) as i do now (~15-17mpg and 4.24/gal).
