I have a Turbo diesel Jetta that gets about 42 MPG around town, I live for high fuel prices so I can tell all the people that own big gas guzzlers that I get close to 50 MPG on the highway. :mrgreen:
Was looking to get one of them but not sure about owning a Volks lol :mrgreen:

I combine several banks plus errands in a single trip; I usually have a map and plan of attack. :) Preparedness is a good thing, especially when you're dealing with a very thin profit margin.

I have stopped buying until I get back home an then it will be combined trips. Liking the idea of buying below melt and holding. That also requires travel, no rest for the Stacker :lol:

I quit but the find of an 1892 Indian brought me back. Now I follow the above mentioned advice.

Both my dump and pickup banks are two blocks away from home. Nothing I can't handle with a good backpack. I can carry four boxes, but I usually only get two.

8-) . No affect here! The current price is only 1/2 of where the globalists want to bring it. The increase has only been somewhat of an inspiration for me to prepare even more for the inevitable economic collapse!!! I do not see any options on the survey for the "no affect here folks!

They are a little extra trouble, and the dealer network blows.

while it is pretty crappy to have to spend so much a week on gas -
i am trying to look on the bright side
Spring is coming - nicer driving - and i get to take my toy cars out
and leave the pickup home for a few months.

No affect on me. I am lucky enough to be within walking distance of my banks.
