You are talking foolish.

Go buy 12 gallons of gas at $4.15/gal. for an old pickup truck and see how far you get.

OK

12 gallons for 3 days roundtrip

That’s 4 gallons per day roundtrip

That’s 2 gallons per day one way

At $4.15/gal that’s $8.30 per day one way.

Minimum wage is at least $7.25 per hour.

So in a little more than one hour you’ve covered your trip to work. In a little more than two hours you’ve covered your round trip to and from work.

I understand that’s about 1/4 of an 8 hr day. It’s minimum wage and you’re driving a long way. Try moving closer to town and getting a better job. Minimum wage 3 days a week is meant for kids.

Maybe you need to move to another area.

Do what you need to do.

The only place with 4.15 gas is Hawaii. I gave you the benefit of the doubt but see that you are California which is 3.79. Where on Earth do you get 4.15 from?
