What size is your tank? (if it's a 70 gallon tank, that's hardly impressive)
Must be nice to drive so little. Some weeks, I've got over 700 miles
logged before I get home from work Wednesday night. I don't think I've
driven less than 1000 miles a month since I was living at home with my
parents.
Telling somebody else that fuel price is not an excuse is just plain
rude, unless you plan on buying fuel for them. Do you know what
mileage their vehicle gets? Do you know their financial situation? If
not, you've got no business opening your mouth about what is or isn't
too expensive for somebody else.
