I live about 10 miles from the nearest gas station, and at $3.20 per gallon I can't afford to only put in $10 a day as you suggest, Chatty. It cost me nearly $50 to fill up my van the last time I went, and I try not to drive down there very often.

That's a good idea for some though. Although I almost feel like I should fill up every chance I get so I won't get hit for awhile with the next price jump.

Speakermom, it does get me so upset when I read about the salaries and bonuses of these oil company executives - just outrageous when we're all scrimping so we can get the kids to band practice!
