I am thoroughly enjoying my summer and not having to drive to school everyday. Gas just keeps going up and is about $4.15 here at the cheapest. I am happy to report that I just got gas for $4.10 at a gas sale today. It cost me about $57, which wasn’t even a full tank.
You’re probably wondering why I am happy about this, but the thing is that I have not purchased any gas for my car in four weeks. Yes, I went an entire month without filling up my car’s tank. It is a pretty big tank at 18.5 gallons, but still. I hadn’t realized how much gas I was burning going to school. During the school year I would fill up my tank every other week. It took me about 20 minutes to get to school during good traffic. Work is half the distance at 10 minutes.
If things keep going with this, I will only have to buy 2 more tanks of gas this summer before I leave for school in August. Of course, with gas going the way it is, it will be $4.30 the next time I buy gas and it will cost me over $60.

Wow. Gas here is only at about $3.82.
Then again, we live next to the state with the cheapest gas (Missouri.)
I drive all over town with the kiddos I babysit, and out to Kansas City (a good 45 miles to the suburbs, and 60 miles to the actual city) so I fill up quite a bit.
Thank you parents!
I wish I could get gas for $3.82!
There were lines at a gas station blocking traffic even because it was being sold at $4.19 a gallon the other day… *sigh*
