Everyone is feeling the effects of the high gas prices. It really amazes me how it can fluncuate in a week. Right now the going rate around Abilene is around $3.89, but here in Hawley where people flock from Abliene and surrounding areas it is down to $3.79. In KC....... I beleive it is around $3.90something.
I am sure we are doing different things to try to conserve the money leaving our pockets . I for one don't just run to Abilene everyday which is about a 15 mile trip for me. I make it count when I go. I think twice......... before I decide to take a long trip. My Tahoe only get 17.4 /gal so there.... Gary had a 1 ton diesel Dodge that was getting around 9 or so with his welder on. He traded it in for a Chev. duramax diesel .(It is suppose to be better on mileage) Now he is driving an older Dodge for his welding truck. You do realize the diesel is HIGHER than gas...its like 4.25 or so . That is what Roper uses also for his truck. His dad pays his diesel but he is really trying to go less up and down the road. I figure I may see my family in the metroplex some day!!! I will just have to go up on my haircuts and etc. to afford the gas !!!
Better go ...gotta make my trip to Abilene to pick up supplies.
LET US HEAR YOUR IDEAS ON SAVING GAS........ OR WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO CONSERVE IT....REMEMBER HERE IN TEXAS WE BELEIVE IN BIG trucks....BIG cars....HAHA!
PS HEARD THE JOHNSONS ARE IN VEGAS THIS WEEKEND!!!!!

Yesterday the lowest (Arco) which is about 5 to 10 cents lower than most it was $4.15. Today it was $4.27 here in our area and I got gas in a Valero station for $4.35 since some of the pumps were empty at the Arco. I guess I shoulda got gas yesterday. It is getting downright ridiculous. We haven't traveled anywhere other than having to go to the Doctors in Riverside which is 50 miles each way. We went yesterday and tomorrow I have two appointments on Thursday. I try to make appointments together when we can.
Diesel is alot more than I noted here on this blog. I think its around 4.50 . I guess Eddie and I are the only poor ones who worry about our fuel prices!!!!
