I turned on the news this morning and the news lady was saying that Americans have used 40 billion gallons of gas LESS than they did last year. Hey that is a lot. I am doing my part. I use to drive to town everyday cause I was bored, now I stay home and use no gas.
Today I filled up and spent $13.90 (that is at $4.18 gallon) That was for the past 11 days. I like to fill up before the tank gets very low.
I had a no use gas day on Saturday and used a $1 off coupon. That is $3 to add to the challenge.
Prev. total $18,868.00
today 3.00
new total $18,871.00
40 billion gallons??

We've tried to cut down as well using our oh so reliable and clean public transportation system. It helps that our son is obsessed with the bus and train lines.

But maybe it will be different this time around. Unlike the oil embargo, where it was a short-term political action, this time, China's growing energy demand isn't going away anytime soon. So, I say there's a good chance the high fuel prices we are currently seeing are here to stay.
On the other hand, I don't think it's the end of the world or anything. We just have to make fuel-efficiency stick this time.
