Of course I’ve cut down on fuel in my own way, not wasting my money on a car in a small town. Here’s a link to the article.
Even though Americans are cutting down on how often they hit up the gas pump, as a country we’re paying a higher percentage of our incomes on gasoline than we have in the last 30 years. The Energy Department said in a new report that U.S. households shelled out an average of $2,912 last year for gas, or about 4% of their pretax income.
This just continues to become more and more unreasonable. For example vacations, depending on your income you may end up spending more on gas than the actual vacation.
