Cutting back on gas
Our system is failing. For a while now, we've just been putting $15 of gas in the car every Tuesday, and it was enough to keep us going - and usually above the half-tank mark. But today we're in the red. We've been driving much more than usual, and combined with the increase in gas prices, our gas is slowly going down down down each week.
Where are we driving that ends up being 100 miles in a week? I have no idea. Driving to work for six days would be 48 miles, but we're driving double that each week. We go out to eat once on the weekends, but surely that cannot add 50 miles.
This week I present myself with a challenge - log on here every place we go and all the miles driven. And of course try to make that number as low as possible by walking and carpooling. I already know I'm going to be walking to return those movies to Family Video instead of driving.
