Ouch...my condolences.

It could be worse, though; two years ago I had a girlfriend who lived in Bakersfield (about 250 miles from me), and, driving a Ford van that got 13 mpg on diesel #2, I was burning easily over $200 in fuel per month...possibly even up to $300 (it was at least $120 per trip {putting 40 gallons in the van twice} plus a 50 mile commute to work)...

Fortunately, she decided to move in with me
