Melodie Bulluck averages nine weekly trips between Rocky Mount and Wilson. The legal assistant drives a 2005 Toyota Corolla.

How she drives: Listens to Mix 101.5 with Bill and Sheri in the morning, and gospel music on 103.9 FM "The Light."

"My wallet often suffers because of the increase of gas prices. ... As a single mother, I work hard to make sure my son has a full life as if he lived in a two-parent household. ... I had two goals that I wanted to reach the year I turned 40. One goal was to become a homeowner. I accomplished that 7 months after I turned 40. My second goal was to purchase a Lincoln Navigator. With the increased prices of gas, I would have to get a second job just to pay for the gas. ... It doesn't make sense. I haven't given up on my Navigator. I just turned it into a dream. I understand that dreams don't always come true."
