Ten Cents More For Gas

I fill up my tank once a week (sometimes sooner) each week at Costco because that is about as good as it is going to get as far as price. Last week I closed my eyes and tried to avoid the $4.33 for regular price tag as I still had the $4.19 receipt in my car from the week before. Last night, I paid $4.33 and for the first time, filling up my Nissan Sentra registered at more than $51. This is when I miss Chicago. Yes bus/train fares have gone up as have the fares for the commuter trains. But, there was easy access. There were regular schedules and I could save some money. Here, I'm stuck because I'd spend more time getting to work than working given the lack of a viable transit system.

Telecommuting is a definite option. I need to take that up with my manager sooner than later.
