Today it sounds wonderful to me... just filled up my tank and spent $54.00. I live 40 miles from work (change in work without a change in living ), and have no transportation in between. I have my old Camry which still gets about 33 miles to the gallon despite having 210k miles on it. Don't know how you do it. I'm lucky to only work 3 nights a week on avg (I just work 2x a normal shift), so don't have to get in the car the other days most of the time. Good for you -- this is a great example of what we can strive to be like. Depending on our situations, we may not ever be able to do the exact same, but learning from the ideas can only help. Small changes!
