It cost me more than $40 at Costco yesterday to fill my gas tank. I
figure it costs me at least $10 in gas every time I drive to the
airport -- and I have a hybrid car. I am beginning to wonder how long
some of the younger instructors can keep this up.

Man, how far do you have to drive?
I'm still driving my old SUV at close to 20 MPG and it happens to be
20 miles round trip which works out to $3.25 or less so far.
With my wife's Prius which is running 46 to 47 MPG it's less than half
that.
