Re: Bum & Lousy Threads
Trying to step it up a bit for BUM
OK I was watching the 'Today Show' the other day and the panel was discussing gas prices. A viewer wrote in via email and said their family was cutting other expenses just to be able to afford or maintain their typical gas consumption which was quite high. The show is also doing the 'Gas Challenge' where 3 different vehicles are driving across the US and measuring the gas bill and driver's opinion. The family driving the big Lincoln SUV has dropped $450 on gas vs Hybrid's $150 on gas. The SUV driver's response was the ride was great and worth the $450 on gas despite the fact that it ate up the family's allowance for other expenditures. Does this make sense to other people b/c it doesn't to me? That type of mentality doesn't seem to solve any problems.
