My 5.7L SUV cost me just over $100 the last time I filled it up - so I parked it and am now driving a 1.7L
Im driving a 6.6L
But it gets fairly good mileage considering.

But Im going to VA this weekend so I figured I would just get it while Im there.
its all part of my single man Boycott Maryland plan.
(actually I doubt that the state will notice me not buying here, but it makes me feel better.)

I ran into Shoppers one day last week after my workout, and there was a couple using an Independence card to buy 2 lobster tails ($19.99 each), a container of crab meat ($9.99), and some chilled Starbucks drinks (4-pack @ roughly $5).

Now that is just wrong.
A good German import is what they should have bought to go with that seafood combination.

which Shoppers? Were they cold water tails?
I've seen people spend the whole card in 1 trip and have to pay the extra in cash... and all they had was steak, seafood, chips, and sodas. Must be nice to be able to eat so well on someone else's money - some of those people eat much better than I do and I work for a living!

I get 23 or 24 unloaded highway. Not much worse than some of the "economy" models.
Then we have the Jetta TDI, 58+ highway 47 around town.
Better chance of getting an honorary one from Virginia.
Works for me.

Back in the early 90s, my squadron was helping to enforcing the post Gulf War embargo in the Red Sea. The officers had one van, we enlisted all seven of us, had another, one of those Mitsubishi ones where you sit next to the engine
We were issued a card good for gas at one certain kind of gas station, one with a green sign. We forgot and filled up at a different station, and were frantically surveying the cash on hand. We had just come back from a mission, and most of us didnt take cash flying, no point. Then the attedant tells us how much in riyals. Quick conversion........like 3 bucks. Was like ninteeen cents a gallon.
What you seeing there is most likely there result of "50 for 100". Where the wefare mommy gets 50 in cash from someone, and gets a shopping list to get 100 worth of groceries. Never knew of this until I worked a month after getting out of the service pulling cable in Bldg 2187. That job didnt attract the best sort. The better ones kept appointments with their parole officer.

In the late 60s/early 70s, my dad had a VW van/bus....$2.00 got him a full tank PLUS his choice of a steak knife or drinking glass. I think my mom still has that set of knives in the RV...along with the set of melamine dishes they had when they were first married over 50 years ago. They just don't make stuff like they used to...LOL
Back on the subject....a Ford Excursion with the 6.8L gas engine and a 44-gallon tank....12 mpg....at $3.89/gallon. I can't calculate numbers that high on my fingers, so the gas hog is parked for the foreseeable future...

For the last few weeks I have been driving in with my wife, I drop her off, then go back to my place of employment, we use the Jetta and let the Truck sit. It kills me to drive that little thing with those barbie car size mirrors, but Im saving about 70 a week right now, so I suffer. And to make it worse, I end up giving my job an extra 5 hours a week for free.

Yes she is,
as well as the rest of us that pay the tax that allows these flea ridden leaches to purchase quality food while we try to figure out how to feed our own families as cheap as we can.
She is stupid, just as stupid as the rest of us that continue to allow this instead of telling these filthy leach hog scum to work or starve.
You called her out, and you are right.

You do realize that the welfare crowd will just get a raise in order to make up for the cost of living right?
