I am really getting upset about gas
| Tue, 04-18-2006 - 3:32pm |
Hi This morning I left to go run errands. I go by my local gas station to get out on the main road. When I left at 10 this morning gas was 2.69. When I came back another gas station that had same price jumped up to 2.81 in one morning. What the heck is going on with this. Is there no end to it. I feel so gulity if DH and i go for a ride on the weekends. Guess we will have to stay home and stare at each other. There is just so much adjusting one can do to there budget. Enjoy your day!!

Hi, Over 40--Found a website for you---www.fueleconomy.gov. You can click on your state (and then city) to find the cheapest gas prices. There is a FAQ (why are gas prices so high), gas mileage tips, etc., fueltracker.com, etc. Gas here? Try $3.00, $3.09, $3.15 and up! Here's what DH is doing:
l) Traded in SUV for Honda CRV---smaller, more fuel efficient.
2) Avoid buying gas off freeway exits. Usually, more expensive.
3) Checking tires (mine were low), and unloading trunk.
4) Buy off-brand gas---ARCO, etc.
We're trying to shop around the neighborhood stores, taking side roads, etc.
Natural gas is even more expensive. I just noticed cobwebs (again) at the ceiling, and we just cleaned house, so it is time to get the furnace/AC filters cleaned. I feel the pain, indeed. Gas prices have affected airline tickets, also. I found alot of neat ideas on that web site. Hugs. WHiz.
over 40 and tired
ME TOO!!!!!
My tank's almost on E and I must fill up tonight at nearly $3/gal. here.
Gonna hurt!
Here in PA~~~On my way home from work at 10 pm last night it was $2.89/gallon, this morning $2.95!! I almost stopped last night but had sleeping kids in the car and thought "Naw, it won't go up in the morning already"......HA on me!!
This stinks!!! Nicki
I HAD to fill up last night and found it for $2.86/gal with $2.95 right across the street. Total cost $52. That's hard to take. I think I'll stay close to home this weekend.
