Exorbitant gas prices practically defined how we spent our money this year and dominated many cocktail party conversations. Those who rely on their cars for commuting were hit the hardest, while regular public transportation riders watched as their buses became overstuffed with passengers. Because many of us will remember 2008 [1] as the year gas prices compromised our lunch money, I'm wondering how much you approximately spent at the pump this year.
