Wish I drove a hybrid, though… What I REALLY need to do is move to a city with a better public transportation system. I’ve ridden the bus and the MetroRail for most of my daily commutes for the past 5 years or so, but it’s hard getting around Houston or Austin without a car. Especially Houston.
These are gas prices from the Houston area, generally Exxon-Mobil or Shell, and I’m always on the lookout for the cheapest of the 87 octane (regular?) “name-brand” gas.
