I guess it's all perspective. I'm used to UK prices ($9 a gallon) so I'm totally ok with paying $4 a gallon. (One might even say I'm gleeful). However, in the UK, along with the high gas price is a terrific network of public transport that is just not available here. Really that is the missing piece.
The altima hybrid seats comfortable five people. I have three kids ( two are teenagers and around 6 ft .) They were more comfortable sitting in the Altima then in my Dad's mid size SUV ( toyota highlander). Now, its not the same as a mini van were the kids can sit spread out. It took some getting used to but it is a sporty looking car and I getting 32-35 mpg combined.
BTW, you can't always uproot your whole family and move closer to work- it is not that easy. First of all, jobs in many fields are hard to come by. Second, if you have kids in a good school system, it doesn't make sense to uproot them to save on gas . You may end up spending more on a new house or more in taxes. It is a shame that things are so spread out in some of the suburbs that makes driving everywhere a necessity.

you're right it is hard to uproot and move but my point is that in the last 10 years or so much of Northern NJ has seen a huge influx of NYers who are moving 50+ miles out and now they will pay a heavy price for that 100 mile + daily commute.
Good news...Chef Boyardee is on sale 10 cans for $10 this week at Shop Rite !!!!!!!!!
Sweet!
As its only me and my gf (plus a dog, but she gets dog food obviously), canned foods have become a staple... other foods go bad to quickly, or must be frozen, and I have a small fridge. I have been thinking about a separate freezer though...

Definitely go for the extra freezer, or even better fridge/freezer. I have one out in my garage and fill up the freezer with tons of stuff when it's on sale. Also, we take a trip to Bottle King once a month and fill up the fridge with beer since there are no real discount liquor places close to my house.

Honestly, I have plenty of room in the fridge for beer, don't need a second
I think I will get another freezer though, it makes sense.
