Cost of living

I haven't driven an old car much this year, fewest miles in over a decade, and I live 5 minutes from work, so I haven't driven much in general. I'm going to make up for it next year.

I remember hearing gas was going to be hitting $10/gal early this year and decided $8/gal would be my cut off point. Never happened, but I'll keep that number for whatever comes down the pipe in the next year. Maybe I should double that since I saved so much by not driving?
