I can afford gas so it's not killing me... however I wouldn't say it's not an issue.
At times, I drive more conservatively and the SLK55 can hit 25mpg on the highway. Done it before. In the city, not so much. closer to 18mpg.
Here's the financial impact as I see it.
If we assume gas prices are $1 more now and that the SLK has a 17 gallon tank...
That's $17 more each fillup.
Fill up every two weeks = $442 additional dollars a year
Fill up once a week = $884 additional dollars a year
I'm guessing most of us can afford it but that sure doesn't mean we want to pay for it.
