Well, I feel SO much better now, LOL!
I had a $50 fill up for my 11-gallon 2001 VW Golf a few weeks ago. That’s usually what I drive in the summer months. I’m only on the road one day a week; two at best.
Beau is going to have fits; he’s taking my truck to Canada fishing for a week come Friday. Getting there might be more expensive than the cost for the rest of the trip!
FWIW, heating is going to be a problem this season. We’re on propane & some electric.
Propane was $1.79/gallon in October 2020. Today it is at $2.99/gallon. We just had our last pre-paid top off. You can only fill propane tanks to 80% full for some reason. Anyhow, I’ve got to remind Beau to sign us up again, early if he can. That usually happens in July, but I sure don’t want to wait at these prices!
I only have electric heat, although a shop has gas. I’m beginning to wonder if I need to install a wood stove. What they’re prognosticating truly is terrible. I don’t want to be in 20 degree F weather with no heat source.
I have many of the 20 pound (BBQ type) propane tanks for my 'hurricane' generator. I have those filled at Costco for $9.00 each I don't know how pounds relates to gallons. I bought those tanks over the years at garage sales @ about $3.00 each.
