Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	NOT good. We fill up at around 1/2 tank so it does not hurt so much. Our Yukon is our market vehicle so we only use it two, to three times/week, thankfully. Our other car and truck are much better on gas.....Thank God! _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I drive a Focus. Filled it at 1/2 empty/or full depending how you look at situations. The cost was $26.00. A gallon of gas around here sells in the range of $4.05 to $4.11 per as of yesterday. The cost of oil went down. Why isn't gas doing the same thing? Gotta wonder! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/11/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	I have considered dusting off my bike. But it's very hilly here and the highway I'd have to travel to get to the store is narrow with shoulders that are fairly non-existent. This is actually U.S. Route 20 the longest road in the US which runs from Boston to Newport, Oregon. But we live in the roughly 40 mile area of its coast to coast span which is only single lane each way. There are plans to improve it, so that it bypasses Galena, but those have been in discussion for 20+ years so I'm not sure they will happen in my lifetime. In any case, there are loads of semis on the road and I just don't think it is safe to ride a bike on it. So I am left to planning my trips and trying to make each one as efficient as possible.

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I live atop a hill and biking is not an option I care to engage in. Groovy bikes. But she's much younger and has been biking for years. Anne, I don't think I'd bike where you live with narrow road shoulders and so many semis. My Focus gets good mileage and it isn't all that small. It's great for me. I only use it for running errands, shopping and church. But the church Groovy likes is 25 miles away. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I forgot to state that my per gallon gas prices are for regular unleaded [87], not the higher [89 or 92] types. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Prices are going down around here, now. We just filled up WB's gastank in his car and paid $3.60 per gal 4 regular unleaded. Down the road from where we got our gas, they were selling it at .39 cents a gal more. But today we went to Erie, Pa. and a station there was selling gas at $3.77 per gal. We got ours at the Indiana Reservation. Point is, the price is falling!

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/11/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	When I check yesterday, the local gas stations are still showing $3.99 for gas. I need to fill up but haven't yet, as I keep thinking maybe tomorrow the prices will drop... _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com
