Have gas prices affected you?

In the past year:

--Gas has gone up 60 cents for me (it was around $2/gal a year ago in Philly...it's currently $2.589 in St. Louis)
--I have a new car (2003 Malibu) that is not as fuel-efficient as my old cars (1994 Escort, 1995 Metro)
--I've gotten a delivery job

I put out about $180-200/month in fuel costs. A year ago, I was probably spending about $60-80/month. But I'm not complaining...it's the price I pay to do what I do. I don't like the prices, but we're still not paying as much as we were in 1983. *shrugs*
