I just filled up the gas tank in my car. I wanted to take advantage of the $2.79 gasoline I found this afternoon. Who would have ever thought $2.79 gasoline would be considered a deal? At the risk of sounding like an old man before the age of 30, I remember when it was impossible to fit $20 worth of gas in my tank. I actually tried once, and ended up overflowing the tank and spilling gas on the pavement. Who cared? It was only $1.10 a gallon.
This past summer, I was never quite sure how much it cost to fill my tank. I would always stop around $48, too scared to pay more than 50 bucks for a simple tank of gasoline. I could buy a lot of stuff with $50. I could also buy enough gas to get to work for the next two weeks. Tough call.
Not long ago I discovered something amazing. I could finance a scooter that gets nearly 100 miles per gallon for about $50 a month. That means one month’s scooter payment is half the price of a month of gasoline. Throw in some insurance, a helmet and a cool jacket, and you still save hundreds of dollars a year. It’s a no brainer.
See you online. I’ll be browsing for a new scooter.
