Filling up the Gas Tank


I have been driving around for days with the gas light on and the needle at the empty line because I didn't want to pay a crazy amount of money for a tank full of gas. As I came home from church this morning, I noticed that the needle was below the empty line and knew that I'd have to face the gas station and its prices.

The cost of living here in California is incredibly high and our prices are usually higher than most of the country. I know that gas is high everywhere and I honestly don't know if we are significantly higher than everyone else, but $3.21 for a gallon of regular gas is just wrong. That's my two cents--or actually 5,313 cents, which is what it cost in order to fill up our van today.
