gas prices have gone up ALOT in Carbondale...when I arrived it was 2.80/gallon...its now touching almost $4/gallon...so that does eat into costs.
my advise is that whatever you budget for your ENTIRE schooling, add another 10-15% to factor in any added cost that might come...some spend more than others...its all about what you do outside school...party/eat out instead of cooking, etc....

I study a lot in places in and around carbondale... I've been to chicago once and I've been to St. Louis 3 times since I've been here, plus lots of random driving around in the boonies. I have filled up my gas tank 5-6 times MAX since January. I have an SUV. The town is tiny. You don't really use much gas since it's minimum only one radio song from point A to point B.
