Default Go slower

I am using the cruise control on my Highlander SUV and have cut it to just over 1 tank of gas a week including the 200 mile round trip to the lake. I do not go over 65 anymore, work at home 2 days a week and have a 53 mile round trip to work 3 days a week. I do not go anywhere else unless I have to. I used to use nearly 2 tanks of gas a week and traveled 70-80 mph on the highway.

I just put over $60 in the tank... when I bought the car 3.5 years ago a fillup was $26. I don't think my salary has increased enought to compensate. Now I have to fill up the jetski... ugh!!!
