Just went down to top off the tank on the Tundra. Cost me $3.57.9 per gallon at the Exxon--the cheapest in the area by a penny or more.
Sure am glad we went to Alaska last summer. Even so, we're looking at two shorter trips for weddings this summer: Milwaukee, WI the end of May and Portland, ME in July. Plus, Terry will be driving to Maryland and South Carolina later this month. Then, in September we're headed to a clam bake in Massachusetts--right Bruce?
Gonna be tough convincing myself to go to the Bolt Hole for any short stays. A 500 mile round trip from and at least half the gas to be bought in NY state. Well over a C-note each trip--minimum--and closer to two if I do any runs for errands once I'm there.
Didn't somebody say, "Drill, baby, drill!" and get laughed at?
Obama said he wanted $5 gas. He's got it but he may find it difficult to create any sort of recovery now that that $5 gas is here.
I feel your pain. Gas here hit $3.769 earlier this week, but has gone down two cents since - so it's only $3.749 now.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what we'll all do with the savings?
Saw elsewhere that it's hit over $5 near the Orlando Airport in FL.
ReplyDeleteDon't spend all that "savings" in one place. (The amount saved on refilling the tank probably wouldn't pay for your latte!)
