$207 on gas in ONE WEEK. And I drive a freaking HYBRID 💀
Man, these gas prices are getting ridiculous.
I drive a hybrid and somehow spent $207.66 on gas in just one week. Between Flex and DD I put almost 800 miles on my car. 800 freaking miles lol.
I knew I was spending more on gas lately, but damn, seeing the actual numbers for the week kinda pissed me off.
$1,545 sounds like a pretty good week, right? Then you realize over $200 went straight into the gas tank. That's $800+ a month just on gas. And that's before tires, maintenance and all the other crap.
And here's what really got me. Two weeks ago I made almost the same money working about 44 hours. This week? 54 freaking hours. Ten extra hours for basically the same paycheck. WTF.
Almost 800 miles, 54.5 hours, and after gas I'm down to around $24.50/hr. And my car doesn't exactly maintain itself for free.
Seriously starting to wonder how much longer this makes sense.
Be real. Would you still do this for $24–25/hr after gas if it meant putting almost 800 miles on your car every week? Or what's your cutoff where you just say screw it, I'm staying home? 💀
