Oh no! An empty tank -- it will need to be filled tonight, because we've got errands in the morning.
Oh noes! I've only got $17 to my name!
For the past week or so, gas has been $2.59/gallon at Bjornson's, which is conveniently a couple blocks from my house.
Oh no! The el-cheapo Ethanol fuel is $2.79 now (regular was $2.89 -- or a $0.30 increase since 3pm today). To avoid my card being declined, I put in just $16 worth, which gets me 5.7 gallons of gas.
Hooray! It made a slight dent in the 30 gallon tank on my van; not a literal dent, mind you -- and barely enough of a level increase to affect the needle. No matter: at the 12mpg we've been getting, this is 60 miles of driving that we didn't have before. Thank you, fuel suppliers driven by submerged-New-Orleans-fears!
