On the way to work yesterday (Tuesday - 5/10), gas was running $3.75 to $3.89. Late in the afternoon I noticed FB posts from friends saying gas was jumping. By the time I was heading home, it was $4.05 most places. I did spot one place at the bottom of the hill between the city I work and the city I live that still had it for $3.76, so you bet I filled up. I was down to under a half.

With my hubby and I going to work, and daughter driving 65 miles one way 4 days a week to college and 50 to work 2 days a week, we are spending almost $250 a WEEK in just gas!! No wonder my stash has stopped growing! That's almost $1000 a month just for gasoline!! And now Illinois wants to add a one cent per ounce tax on soda... Yes. 1cent per ounce on pop!!! That was just on the local news today!!

On the "plains of the dakota's" last friday (5-6), it was 3.97 a gallon, now on 5-10, it's 3.92. We were told ove the weekend, that it should start dropping by about .50 cents within the month. So we might still get a couple of short trips yet this summer. I see alot of people staying home this summer due to the gas prices.

Tuesday on my way to work it was $3.73
Today it was back to $3.79 on my way to work, well on my way home it was $3.89
I think this must be some kind of new math, I always thought lower ment cheaper.
