I can fill up my tank on about $30 when it's on empty. I can go a little over 400 miles on a tank, so I figure it's something. Personally, I do think that the economy has had some good come out of it. More and more people are looking at their financial details and getting more involved with taxes and their paycheck and retirement. While bad it may change the way people handle money and that may get passed on to your children. Or we're all screwed.
