Like it is for many Americans, the price of gasoline is impacting our family's finances. The price of gasoline affects the price of everything, including food. While we're not struggling like many families, it's definitely curtailed our driving and spending habits. It also means less money for Z-Dub's college savings.
Now I know many of our European friends pay much more for precious fuel, but here in American we're not accustomed to paying such high prices. And with the lack of a viable public transportation system here in the desert, we have very few alternatives to filling our gas tanks and driving around town. Way to go Government for planning ahead, but that's a whole other post.
Without further delay, here's this week's price per gallon:
That's a shocking $0.11 increase over last week. Let's hope the price levels off before next week.
For the record, I drive a fairly fuel-efficient car that yields an average of 33 miles per gallon.
