I have been saying this phrase recently & boy does this make me happy!!! Less than $40.00 to fill the van...a road trip North is far more desirable...whether it be to CritterLiz's place in the Catskills or to visit with my mom in Syracuse.
Remember, years ago, we could say this at the gas station & not have to be back in a day or two?
I remember putting $5.00 in my Mom's car when I was growing up & would get well over 1/2 a tank of gas. And we drove a 2 door -man, those doors HEAVY :-) - Pontiac gas guzzler at that time. As a matter of fact, one of my sisters would always scooch down in the back seat while we were in town so none of her friends would see her in this car. Me, never mattered much to me..I was "in town"!
Anyhow - I can now afford to DRIVE to the grocery store...I just can't afford the groceries!! Go figure!
Although, I do wonder, with gas being so cheap again - will we still use public transporation, bike, do many errands while we are out, etc, etc. like we did when gas was almost 3 times this rate? I sure do hope so....
