Gas Prices Today

To follow up on my question the other day about gas prices soaring, yesterday morning I was riding my bike (because I love my bike and it’s cheaper to ride than to drive!) and snapped a shot of gas prices in my neighborhood – sorry about the angle, the light was turning green and I had to pedal quickly. Boy, was I glad I was riding my bike. Then, I did a quick search for where exactly does our dollar go? Here’s what I found out: Now last September was quite a few months ago...

It’s funny that I seem to stress over the little things (I guess I should catch up on my reading over at Sweating the Big Stuff!).
