I doubt it gets that high but, who knows. You better start picturing yourself paying $4 though, because you will be soon, if you aren't already.

Its getting there, luckily Sams club still has decent pricing for the gas, it was $3.71 when i pumped gas Friday. I try not to use my truck as much on the weekends, thats really when i put in the mileage.

Re: OS Off Topic

Alright, another question for those who have already went through college and the student loan process:

Is $11,700 a lot of money to take out for a private loan? My financial aid package was like $12,000 (including $3,500 Stafford loan), which leaves like $11,700 not accounted for. Do you think that's too much?

Well you should consider this will be a year expense that will only go up. By the end you'll probably have around $50,000 in debt and lets not get into what it will be if you go to graduate school.

Depends what you're going to school for (and how much money you'll be able to make when you get out). I took about $20,000 in federal loans and $40,000 in private loans over 5 years of school.

The federal loans are super low interest (under 3% and locked in) so not a huge deal. My payment is about $150 a month over 15 years.

The private loans however don't have a fixed interest rate. They were fairly low when I graduated (around 5%) but steadily went up to over 10%, raising my monthly payment to over $450 just for the private loans. Interest rates have come back down some, and my payment is down to $350 a month but it's still quite a bit.

I would strongly advise against taking that much in private loans if you're not going into a field where you can afford to pay a large monthly payment. My payment right now is around $500 a month, the lowest it's been since I graduated. Add that onto $600 in rent, $300 car payment, etc, etc and it severely limits your flexibility after college when you are ready to buy a house, new car, etc.
