re: #393 Coracle

A 25 mpg car driven 12,000 miles a year will pay bout $700 more per year in gas cost if the price jumps from $3.50 to $5.00 per gallon instantaneously and stays there.

For a struggling family, or a fleet dependent business this is certainly a hit.

A carpool of 2 people in one of those cars with split fuel costs reduces total cost by half for each member of the carpool.

I spend close to $100 a week and so does my wife. I can’t image what it will be like in 4 months if the experts are right.
