Gas Prices: Why I am a rebel
After going through the normal routine today at the house, I proceeded to hop into my SUV. As the car started, I noticed that the gauge was set on empty and off to the local gas station I go! I pulled up to the pump and decided to be a rebel today. You may ask to yourself, what does being a rebel at a gas station consist of, well lets say my ML320 is only supposed to take premium gasoline and I decided to fill the entire tank up with regular. A total of 16.006 gallons cost me $64.01, compared to the $63.88 for 15.213 gallons that I spent on the 18th simply filling up with premium gas. To my shock I only filled up three days ago and was already on empty once again. I can thank dropping my girlfriend to work in West Covina, then proceeding to pick her up and dropping her home again for that. LOL! Its the least I could do as she spent the night over at my place on Tuesday and we were cutting it close Wednesday morning while driving her back to her place. To make a long story short instead of dropping her all the way to her place in Monrovia we decided taking her straight to work in West Covina would be a better idea, as she would of been late for work. This good deed was quite costly for me, as it burned up a great deal of gas.
I’m actually now seriously thinking about purchasing a more fuel efficient car, since I do commute a ways to get to where I currently work. I also might try taking the bus for a few days to see if this would be a more efficent way to commute. Whatever ends up happening I’ll make sure to keep everyone updated.
