Gas jumped from $3.99 to $4.15. Do gas prices affect how much you drive your truck? Do you have other vehicles for saving on gas?

Gas prices don't change how I drive at all. I don't do any long trips or anything. I'm young and broke so my truck is my only vehicle haha, and I sure as hell am not using the bus. Even at $5 a gallon I still wouldn't get a different car.

I drive my lil 89 for long trips, driving it tomorrow to carowinds actually. Gas is like 3.30 here but diesel is around 4 and I drive the powerstroke more than anything.

My R6 gets me to work and back with a smile through any traffic jam for 43mpg.

Truck bike combo is pretty tough.

Nope,not at all. I'm guessing my truck gets about 6 mpg when I'm playing with it after a good rain and I'll still do that regardless of gas prices. Mine actually isn't bad on the street,much better than you would assume.
Also gas is $2.96 a gallon here.

What kinda gas mileage you get? Did the 4.10s make it better or worse?
