A new car is still not worth the payments and extra insurance premiums to me. I'll stay payment free and 25 a month. I pay less for gas per month than a new Kia costs, lol. The wife however loves to be in debt and pay 6 times the insurance.
I know that lots of people don't care about the money, just the efficiency of a new gas sipper, and that is great. If I had the money I would have a newer car, maybe. I really don't like anything that is made today.
As for gas prices, they are still the same as last week. A couple stores that like to gouge are slowly raising theirs though and that will make others follow. Greedway is the worst when it comes to this tactic.
