i dunno man, on local news here they had a report on credit card usage for gas purchases, and how expensive it can get. like if u think about it, it costs me a good 30-40 depending to fill up my tank (bless ur soul jim //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif ) and that's about each week. so basically, i spend all cash on gas, so lets see...thats about 60-80% of each check on gas (7x7 ~ 50 bucks a week). now if u don't use cash, that probably 50 + (ur truck) a week will get pretty pricey over a few months and u won't even realize it because it becomes second nature. just tryin to give u some tips to cut down on costs. i know a 16 yr old hasn't experienced what u have, but anything can help a brother who is in need.
