Are the ultra high gas prices hurting you hypermilers?

Not to mention that we do not have a gasoline shortage, refinery capacity is adequate for demand, that is not what is driving up gas prices.

Gas/Oil consumption is down 1.1% over last year. The actual gas price is being driven by the price of oil right now. Granted if oil was lower, then the refiners would be hard pressed.

I guess I must just be lucky then, because both my wife and I are college graduates, she is a teacher and I am a computer systems analyst. We aren't rich, but we make good money. And our house is exactly 6 miles from each of our jobs. I am lucky in one respect though. I just got this job recently and my old job had me commuting 70 miles a day. All I can say is, the Lord is good.
