At the Mobil station on W. 30th St. in Manhattan, Kevin Williams of Brooklyn cringed next to his 2005 Mercedes-Benz as he watched the pump tick past $80.
"I like my car, but I’m thinking it’s not worth it. I’m going to sell it," said Williams, 30. "I either have a car or I go out. You can’t do both."

Greyhound driver Keith Spriggs of Baltimore spent $499.73 to fill his bus.
"I got two cars at home, and I went out and bought a moped," he said, adding that $10 worth of gas lasts him several days now.
