You regret getting rid of your grandma car, huh?
Hey... That's pretty smart, use somebody ELSE's gas!
At least 1 of us was prepared that day. I remember that conversation...
Hey man, I brought some gas, you want to put it in?
Nah, I'm good, I have plenty of gas.
....about 5 minutes later......."####, what's wrong with my boat"
Wellllllllll.......... 70-80 gallons a week at $2.69 * 4 weeks = $807.00/monthWhat about during the summer when your filling up that boat? :cha-ching:
I fill up twice a month. Used to average $50 a month, but now it's right under $80.
Prior to that, I used to commute to DC and averaged around $300 a month pre-current gas prices.
I just totalled up my gas expenditures for the past few months. I'm sitting at $320/month average.
What do you guys spend at the gas pump?
And this is one of the major issues Bush and now Obama simply don't care enough to fix, the monthly drain right out of our pockets, the average folks. This and housing have been core problems for years now and neither party cares to fix either, as simple as the fixes are.
So, scanning the posts here, we're looking at somewhere around an average of $300 a month for gas. Half of that, at least, is flat out income transfer to other nations, most who are not our friends nor do much trade with us.
So, $150 a month times 12 months; $1,800 a year. That's after tax dollars.
For what?
$50.00 for me, $80.00 for the wife. It helps when you're living 4 miles from work.
Well, we had a POTUS who tried to address this problem. Went for some very unpopular, but needed, choices.
He was voted out.
