Gas prices only went up .40 cents a gallon between 1976 -1996. That's .40 cents in twenty years! December 2007, the average price per gallon was $2.10. The average price today, $3.97. That's an increase of $1.87 per gallon in 5 months. Whoa!! "They" are predicting $7.00 per gallon by mid summer. Linda is adjusting her teaching schedule so she can save on gas. Now she has 2 or even 3 classes back to back at the same gym. Her car does not get very good mileage, and sometimes she drives 20 minutes each way to teach one aerobic class. She also told me she is going to start riding her bike to teach some of the local classes. It would be so cool if I could ride with her. Since the Giant is within biking distance, I am going to get to go with her in this little pink bike basket. (I hope she orders it for me.) She should be thankful her car does not run on Whiteout. It would cost $3,939.64 to fill her tank. This list has been all over the internet, look at these prices and you might feel better next time you fill up.
