We put in $20.00 in the tank yesterday and it didn't even get the little marker to the half way point! My little car does get good gas mileage, but it's actually getting to the point where it's too expensive to fill it all the way up. The last time I filled it all the way, it cost $41.00! I know that to some people, that's nothing, but I've had this car for almost 5 years and I've never had to put more than $30.00 in the tank and it would be full.
Jeff and I have been thinking about saving for a 4 wheel drive for the winter season. We would still keep my car because it's all paid off, but now, I think we're better off just using my car this winter. If we get the house that we're hoping for, then we could walk to work on the really bad days, or carpool....
I feel bad for those people with thier big Tahoes or Lincoln's. They must be spending a fortune. I know that the gas prices have affected my life in a lot of ways. Nevermind the money angle, but I haven't been making my rounds when it comes to visiting my family either. I usually try to go see my mom and my granny at least once a week, but now that gas is so expensive, I'm not getting out there as much as I like. I even told Jeff that if the gas prices continue to rise, we might not be able to visit our family and friends in Chico as much this year, and that really bums me out.
