December 4

After dropping off the kids at school, I coasted into the gas station this morning on the last of my fumes. It was bitter cold, so I stayed inside my car, waiting for the pump to fill my gargantuan tank. I've noticed over the last year that most gas stations have a credit card cap on their outside pumps and only let you pour $50 in at a time. I've scoped out the stations that let me charge more because 19 gallons of premium has been over $50 for many months.

But today I was surprised. I'm grateful that I once again am able to completely fill my tank on less than $50. Not MUCH less than $50, but I'll take it!
