Outrageous Bills!

Just opened my Phillips66 bill and it was $588 for one month of gas! My DH has been traveling quite a bit this month. Week two he was filling up every 2-3 days. He also doesn't get fully reimbursed for the gas, he does get a car allowance but it doesn't nearly cover the gas cost. As for his cell phone bill for the month it was another $489. That one doesn't get reimbursed at all....totally out of pocket, we have to wait for tax time. Darn it anyway!

Hi Sinnomore, I don't know what to tell you about the gas usage. It does seem outrageous though, is your dh driving some kind os gas guzzler like an SUV? Is your dh grabbing breakfast, drinks, snacks, cigarettes on the card too? Would it be possible to switch to, or invest in a hybrid for work purposes? I think that would make much more sense if it is not reimbursed to you.


The cell phone thing is also outrageous. You must look for a better plan. I have unlimited 'anytime'
