Monday gas jumped 28 cents overnight here in Bloomington, IL. It was $3.89.9, but it has dropped a whole penny today. Grandma Kim's rusty old Honda CRX still gets over 40 MPG at legal speeds, so I'm not riding my bicycle just yet.
I do worry about its reliablity (183,000+ miles!) if I go beyond the city limits anymore. Uncle Pat had to bring it home from Springfield in his quarter midget trailer recently when the radiator failed.
Maybe the gas is so high here because Big Oil found out that a certain major insurance company has put Big Spender (aka Go Fast) into our town with a company credit card :O:
