I love driving.
I should have been a trucker by trade.
To me it is ultimately about the savings.
I am a miser.
I am the electricity Nazi in my house, the water Nazi, the garbage Nazi...
you get the idea.
I HATE waste,
of any kind.
So I hyper-mile on the highway and in town.
I reuse the plastic water bottles my kids bring home,
I reuse Ziploc bags,
I bake my own bread and have a bread slicer set to 3/8 inch ( I'd go thinner, but the bread falls apart) so I get more slices and the kids eat less bread.

To answer the question;
I average 52mpg driving efficiently, before that I averaged 48mpg.
So at current prices I pay around $4.66 to drive one hour.
And before I would pay around $4.99. (using current price)
I save $.33 per hour.
The difference is insignificant. But if I work really hard, and find ethanol free fuel, I can get over 60mpg. (then the diff is around $.90) But ethanol is killing me now and I am getting lax in my habits.
