It just gets worse and worse. My car only gets 12 mpg around town, so I'm very careful to make as few trips as possible. I keep a list and shop the ads so I can do all the shopping in the same direction. It's been more than a month since I put gas in the car. People mock me for shopping at Walmart, but I can get most of what I want there. Once, a store had made a mistake and I had to drive back there. I told them how much it cost me to drive back there to fix their mistake and they gave me money to compensate... I was kind of surprised!
