I do pay a lot more than 4$/gal (US) - more like 7.35 USD / gal.
My commute has become slightly over 100km, so using almost 1.5L/100km less than in 2008, I use about 1.5L less per day than I would have used @ my pre-2008 fuel consumption.
That translates to 1,96 euro or 2.91 USD per working day.
And I don't appear to be losing (more) time doing so.
On the motorway I often pass people who had overtaken me before, as I don't slow down when they do and my merging strategy is clearly better for keeping up momentum
