With gas so cheap, I've been driving way more than usual and now I need a new set of tires much sooner than originally budgeted for. I could use all the money I've saved on gas to pay for them but, of course, I already blew all that money on a new jet ski. How have you been affected ?

I have a warehouse full of trucknuts I picked up for pennies on the dollar. Just waiting for the market to turn.

It's forced the creation of the same old shitty thread thrice daily.

Not at all. I drive the same as before, I just have a bit more cash.

It does make me a bit happier when I don't see $50+ dollars on the meter after paying for gas, though.

Cheap to fill up.

Which is good since I got laid off due to a trickle down from the oil crash.

I've invested the money I've been saving in oil and gas stocks. They are so cheap right now.

It hasn't really, I live 4 miles from work and my car gets good gas mileage. I fill up twice a month.

Maybe you can star your battle rap career now. I heard there are leagues paying up to 10,000 per battle...

Many of my colleagues, most of whom are great guys with families and without truck nuts, have lost their jobs. I'm afraid that mine could be next. But hey, at least you're saving $40/month on gas

This doesn't apply to me, but I know the people who use to throw $5.00 of gas in their tank when the prices were over $3.00... they are able to put a little more than just enough to make it home..
