But got over it since the last time I gassed up was a month ago! 300 miles divided by 15 gallon tank = 20 miles to the gallon. A little lower than normal because I had the AC on a lot. 15 gallons times $4.16 = $62 which translates into 12 pints of Coconut Bliss Dark Chocolate ice cream.
Trust me. I can eat it all in a month.
Or a pair of Reeboks! I SO had a pair in 1989! But why buy these when I can find them in a dumpster?
So I saved some money this past month and got great exercise. When I do drive, I keep it at 55-60 mph. It really does help to hypermile. If you didn't read Gillian's blog about it, check it out! And it does help to properly inflate your tires!
Here's an interesting consequence for driving slower! Many drivers are hypermiling and leaving something behind! Don't drink the 'vitamin water' on the side of the road!

I've been riding my bike to work too! I live less than a mile from work, so it's not bad at all. It's hard to pick up my curb treasures while on a bike though!
