At the station where I buy gas, the price has been stable for weeks. Whether Ida will cause a bump in prices is something we will have to see.

Death, taxes, and higher gas prices.

Gas actually dropped a nickle per gallon here. Wonder what's the nickle for?

Don't worry...oil went up $5 a barrel today, so that nickel will be back in force tomorrow.

I never understood those people short on funds back in the day always driving around on fumes, buying 1/4 tank at a time.

Not hard to understand. If buying more than a quarter tank doesn't leave you enough money for groceries, it's a no brainer.

You are still spending the same amount on gas monthly, and if you run a tank too low you are risking sucking up the crap that accumulates on the bottom of the tank. That can lead to expensive repairs.
