$.40, typically. So like $4 more a fill up, and $16 more a month. I could bring my own lunch twice a month and cover the extra cost without any other change to my lifestyle.
But I budget for gas with all of my other expensive. When gas was around $5, I was more careful about my driving habits and thought about the cost more, also I was earning a lot less. Now $3/gal doesn't phase me too much. I know we are fortunate that it is so cheap, especially when compared to California, Europe, or Canada - apparently.
