I think that's what it was when I was reporting in 1991. The current IRS rate is almost twice that. I wonder if you can deduct the difference on your tax forms? Either way, your editors should increase their mileage reimbursement. $.28/mile is extremely low. I think that’s what it was when I was reporting in 1991. The current IRS rate is almost twice that.

Who are those people, and what is that price? Good list though. Then again, you think you have it hard? In the UK, we're at $2.60 per *litre*. Plug in a spreadsheet and see how you'd like *those* numbers. For some people, driving to work won’t be economic at [INSERT PRICE HERE]. Who are those people, and what is that price?

School districts in my area are budgeting fuel costs for $5 a gallon diesel for 2008-2009 school year. Aside from my beat, I'm tasked with writing a feature on tips to increase MPG. I recently bought a 2004 Prius (my 1995 Ford Taurus' transmission died). There are good Web sites out there for mpg fanatics (hyper milers) or hybrid users: cleanmpg.com, priuschat.com to name a couple. Great story idea list.
