Gas Prices

When we left home we paid $3.87 for a gallon of gas in Tennessee. Just below Winchester, Va we paid $3.99 so I only purchased 10 gallons. That was a good move because the next day I was able to get gas for $3.93! I thought I had made a mistake when we crossed over into New Jersey. Gas in Pennsylvania was about $3.95 and the first station we saw in NJ was at $4.05. However, away from the freeway I was able to purchase gas for $3.89.

I had hoped to do my best and not purchase gas for over $4 per gallon. Well, in Saratogo, NY I paid $4.15 and today I got it for $4.29. That seemed like a great price after seeing a station selling regular gas for $4.61 per gallon.

I have figured out a system though. If you purchase gas just after going below a half tank, you pay a lot less than if you run it down to empty. You might try this where you live and see if it works for you!

I've found that if you just push the car wherever you go you don't have to use ANY gas, much less pay for it!
