Gas Prices.

I was always the driver, who never wanted to be caught in the middle of somewhere, with an empty tank of gas. I always knew too, that the cars I’ve driven, technically are gas-guzzlers. To counteract this, I always let my gas tank get to the middle. I always knew how much I was comfortable spending on gas. I would always go to the pump and see people leaving it behind after having spent $25…$45…$30 on gas. Me, I spend about $7 ~ $13 and I do this probably three times a month. Even with the combined amount by that much, it’s not nearly as close as what I’ve seen other people spend.

    see people […] spent $25…$45…$30 on gas

    I spend $7 ~ $13 […] three times a month

    3 x 13 = $39

    it’s not nearly as close as what I’ve seen other people spend.

      Not only that, all those trips to buy a small amount of petrol will use petrol, might as buy a lot rarely rather than a little often.

    Sounds like you don’t really need to drive that far or that frequently; lucky you.

    On a similar note, unlike millions of other people out there I haven’t been affected by ebola, hurricanes, or ballistic missiles. Can you imagine living and having to endure such a thing? Yet people don’t relocate to better places. How puzzling. I wonder why.

    As the increased gas prices haven’t effected the price of goods yet. Then I’d say I’ve been effected by it even less, by not having a car at all.
