Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Cars and Gas

Gas around here has actually dropped to $4.10 a gallon for regular. Big Oil has me trained well, as THIS OUTRAGEOUS PRICE actually looks good. Who'd ever have thought that I would consider $4 plus a good price. The GRBs!!!

Of course, using quite a bit with the hydrotherapy visits (about 22 miles round trip a day) and doctors. Crystal Lake adds another 15 miles to the 22.

Yesterday, I spent the most I've ever spent for gas when I filled up the '85 Firebird's tank with premium at $4.27. However, this is the first fill up for it since last fall, when gas was at under $3!!!

Usually, Fox Lake is the least expensive gas in the area, but yesterday, they were at $4.16 for regular, which meant $4.36 for premium. The Mobil station in Johnsburg is always the most expensive in the area, but the past few days, they've been at $4.10, as has the Citgo at Rock Corner at the intersection of Wilmot Road and Illinois Route 173, near the Wisconsin border.

The truck is getting about 15 miles per gallon around town.

All of Spring Grove Road, out to the west of the subdivision, and a major route to the hospital for hydrotherapy, is being repaved and is quite a traffic tie up.

Four Dollar GAS!!! Who'd a Thought??? --RoadDog
