The national average for self-serve regular stood at
$3.0150 a gallon.
I am still amazed at the amount of traffic on the streets here. I have calculated the cost of driving to most of my favorite destinations and as a result we have sharply curtailed our intake of Indian food since all the good restaurants are 18-22 miles north of our house.
For us to drive out for a $20 Indian meal, we would have to tack on about $6.00 for fuel cost! For someone in an SUV, that would probably be an extra $10.00 or more. I really don't know how people do it unless they are reducing other expenses. And we don't even have a commute to work.
Pity the folks who are stuck working for minimum wage and have long commutes. Of course we can't seem to get a hike in the minimum wage but Congress can vote themselves raises.
Urrrrgghhh!
