With gas prices going up, how are you guys with Over Sized SUV's or V8's living through this?

Yeah driving a Large SUV in DC is murder.. I remember I drove my brothers land rover before he got rid of it in NW DC and it was torcher as far as MPG is concerned.. I remember I wanted a 03-06 tahoe for the longest time since I am 6'4 in the half, but after driving my brothers rover last year I am glad I got me a 07 Impala instead that is great on gas.. We are indeed a greedy nation.. I never understood why someone would wan a Suburban/Yukon XL/Escalade ESV when they don't have a big family, or don't have any kids..

just filled up my navigator for 90 dollars..

i stopped using it work everyday, i decided to just use my sisters beat up car since work is 10 miles from home..

its not fun driving her car around, can't even stare at any girls, to embarrassed especially when they pull up in a Lexus or Benz.

I only have a v6 but gas still sucks when i live 30 minutes away from my job. I am debating on getting my motorcycle license but im too scared to hit the freeway on a bike

Eclipsed the $100 mark to fill up the Tahoe the other week. Definitely staying home more. Luckily I have a short commute. Those filling up every week, you have my condolences.
