  5. Couple cups o' coffee, toast, Cheerios.

    It's the GD trips to the stores that get us.

    In my '03 Dodge 5.7 Hemi 3/4 ton truck, it costs me between 22-28 cents/mile depending on the price of gas. That's why I'm thrashing to get my '29 RPU completely roadworthy - its got a '74 Pinto 2000cc motor and 4 speed, and should get more than twice what my Dodge gets!

    Right on the money, C9. I get a kick out of these people slurping their $4.00 cups of coffee from Starbucks and whining about the price of gas.

    Not to mention their designer label water, most of it nothing more than bottled municipal water.
     
  11. I've purchased Starbucks regular coffee a couple of times.
    $2.00 which is ok and I like it.


    Although . . . I stood behind a couple of 30 something gals a few months back and watched as they ordered some lama lama ding dong espresso creation with a shot of barranca foam, one big chocolate chip cookie and two little carrot cakes.

    Absolutely killed a $20. bill.

    Couldn't believe it....

    I walk or take the bus (free) but I only live about 1.5 miles from work. I laugh at the people who complain about gas prices but buy a $4 cup of coffee every morning and eat lunch at a restaurant every day :rolleyes:
