Poll question: How full is your tank?
Not your gas tank. You tank of hope.

1. I fill the tank once a week. Since I don't use a full tank to get
back & forth to work, the cash outlay is a bit easier to handle...mentally at least!

3. I chose "Other"...
I'm just starting to be hopeful about maybe being able to be hopeful sometime in the future.

I'm in wait-and-see mode at the moment.

4. Had to go with other: no car, so no tank
I either walk or take public transportation. When I can't do either, I borrow a vehicle from FlexCar

5. Somebody came along and filled up my tank of hope
with fear, doubt, and cynicism. I guess I'm going to have to siphon that stuff out or something -- the engine doesn't run well on it, and backfires a lot ;)

6. My toilet tank is more topped off than my tank of hope
...or my gas tank.

From war in Iraq to the economy and energy, "tank" is a real buzzword for this admin.

7. I had to go with "Other".
The tank on the car is somewhere between 3/4 and 1/2, the tank on the scooter I ride to work and for almost all of my errands now is at about 1/2, since I last filled up about a week ago. I have to use premium in it, but it gets me right around 70MPG and a fillup is usually just about 2 gallons.

I bought my wife a 250cc Suzuki motorcycle last winter, and she's also getting about 65MPG.

We use the car only when it's raining to much to be comfortable riding, or when we have to carry a lot of stuff. Our use of the car has dropped WAY down over the past year.
