Inflation here? gas/grocery prices just continue to climb

Yep. I have a 2009 TSX that has around 144k miles. Right before lockdown in 2020, I was looking at new cars. I am really glad I couldn't find anything I liked. I drive on average 20-50 miles per week now. I would be really irritated to have a car payment on something that is sitting around collecting dust. In September, they closed our office for good while they search for a smaller and cheaper office space for us here to meet the new demands which they don't anticipate having until next summer.

I am not even entertaining the idea of a new car until we at least have an office I might have to drive to once a week. Also really glad I don't have to drive much because gas in California is not cheap at all and my car requires premium.

20-50 miles a week????

i wish. lol.

I will say this- after 8 years of constant griping, my company is officially opening an office Jan 1 on the Northshore. So for the first several months i will work there/southshore, alternating days with the expectation that within 1 year i will work exclusively out of the Northshroe office.

At which point i could ride a bike to work!!!!!

So id fill up on Sun and not fill up again for a good 10 days. ( and like you, my car is geeked out on 93 octane )
