$1.89 . . .

. . . is how much I paid for regular unleaded yesterday in Indiana. Wow--you Hoosiers have it nice! Here in Chicagoland, we're still around $2.19. (But I'm not complaining!)

Gas Update

I filled up with gas again a few days ago--only $64.50 this time! Previous fill-ups were $70 and $66, so I think I'm beginning to see a trend! (My signal to get gas is when the low fuel warning light comes on, so I think I can trust that these numbers reflect comparable levels of emptiness.)

Chess camp is over and all the choirs are winding down for the summer, so I'm expecting this most recent tank of gas to last a while. Fill-up was four days ago and I still have over three-fourths of a tank remaining, so maybe this time I will actually make it two weeks on one tank.

Hope springs eternal!

Gas

I filled up my van two weeks ago. It cost $70. My goal was to try to make it for two weeks on that tank of gas. Well, I didn't make it. Yesterday was the 2-week mark, and I had to get gas the day before yesterday. And after three days in a row (and two days remaining) of driving my son to the other side of Chicago for chess camp, I'm certainly not going to make it two weeks on the current tank. At least it only cost $66 to fill up this time. I can't believe I was actually happy to see that number.

Between my driving and my husband's, I think we're going to have to look at taking in a boarder just to pay the gasoline bill around here.
