I was thinking of getting a 275 gallon tank to put on the property so i can get off road diesel (home heating oil).
It's only about $2 to $2.50 a gallon. You can't use it in a truck or a car, but you can damn well use it in a bulldozer or a tractor.
We get off-road diesel every now and then in our tank. It's considerably more than $2.50/gal.
It was $4.39/gal on Saturday.
I haven't read much of this thread, so I'm not sure if it's even still on topic.
BF and I have been carpooling for over a year now. We drive a small car to save on gas, even though we'd love to drive a roomier vehicle. We don't go out very often, we rarely buy beef anymore because it's too expensive.
I used to visit my family much more frequently. Dad is in Lex. Park, and my mom and sister are in NC. I'm lucky if I can afford to visit them 3 times a year. We're probably going to have to skip a real vacation this year. We have plenty of leave, but we can't afford it. We'll probably just combine a visit to NC and pretend it's a vacation.
Gas price increase has definitely hit us the hardest of anything. It sucks when you go to the pumps and it costs you $50 to fill up a small car's tank (when it was already 1/4 full).
Things aren't as bad as they could be, but they're tight. It just sucks if gas really is going to get over $5/gal...because then I definitely could not afford to visit my family.
but they don't cancel the cable, SAT, lawn service, trash pickup, Starbucks, DSL etc. Like they can't live without these things.
