This week, it cost $50 to fill up my 10.4 gallon car. Wow, that’s a record for me. With gas being this expensive, I find my driving experience to be different now. It’s like I am using rocket fuel and my car is a spaceship. I look out my windows at the strange lands of Pasadena and Arcadia. The road seems different, more like terrain. I’m trying to enjoy my driving missions now that I can’t take them for granted. My friend M and I were discussing how fuel is a luxury item today. What other things are now luxury items due to this nasty recession we’re in? M said rice was at a premium too.
Maybe the rocket fuel analogy came up because I just came out of Wall E.
I might have to start using this gas price tracker . Perhaps now is the time to invest in a bike (I’m afraid of getting hit by a car though). Or just walk more. I’d love to take the Metro but I don’t live near a station.
