6. I paid 2.30 today for regular unleaded.
My husband pays 2.50 for that damnCamaro. I never even call it a Camaro anymore. It's that damnCamaro. I want someone to buy that thing and I told him to knock thousand or two off the price just to unload it.

I digress.

I fill my tank about three times a month. At 2.30 today, it was $35 to fill, but I wasn't on E yet. My husband has to fill his about once a week at 2.50. He gets mileage reimbursement, but it doesn't add up to what he spends, of course.

My goal is to reduce my fill-ups to twice a month. That means consolidating trips, using a different grocery store that's closer to our house (same chain, just not as nice a store), and walking whenever possible. And we have to cut out our occasional Sunday drives to look at houses.

The door to my gas tank locks, but not the gas cap itself. Is that good enough?
