“When one had to think about every little trip costing $5 to $10 in fuel, many of us cut down our trips.”

You are right on target. My wife is conservative but has inherited a high level OCD. When she thinks of something to buy or do, it should be done then or soon.

$50 fill ups on her Lexus changed that behavior.

“$50 fill ups on her Lexus changed that behavior.”

That must have been painful therapy.

Here’s hoping the lower prices won’t trigger a relapse.

The truck I use for work has a 36-gallon tank. There was a time not too long ago when I couldn't even fill the thing up in one transaction because gas stations had limits of $75, $80 or $100 on each credit card transaction.

So you can imagine how fantastic it was to put 32 gallons into it yesterday for less than $50.
