I love to watch gas prices rise.  The ignorant fools with their giant, poorly made symbols of low self esteem, suffering the slow realization of the impeding final nail of their financial eviceration while standing at the gas pump. 

I switched from a fairly fuel sippy Japanese car to real vintage Mercedes diesel style (two of them, for good measure).  If you haven't enjoyed a well maintained sample of these rides, you're missing what was unquestionably the pinnacle of automotive mechanical engineering.  I'm also running biodiesel (NOT vegetable oil, that's reserved for a different type of fool, well meaning, but poorly informed), making my travels effectively carbon neutral. 

Reality check step by step guide on how to escape car payments, dizzying automotive depreciation, and high fuel prices may be coming soon (ask for it, will make it more likely for something to appear).

Oh, and one more thing ...  fuel cost:  $2 per gallon of 75% emissions reducing, screw-you-big-oil, guilt free, high quality biodiesel.
