Dragging My Feet All The Way To The Pump

Every single day, I'm glad that I got rid of my huge, gas-guzzling Buick before I moved to North Carolina.  That thing was draining my bank account and me and I got rid of it in favor of something that had a gas mileage over over 8 miles per gallon.  But now, with the gas spike, I'm dreading going to the pump again, wondering how much farther I can go on what little gas I have.  It's become a game for me.  I've found myself seeking out gas stations by checking on the internet first and figuring out the best priced one near me. 

I've been using various apps that help find the cheapest.  Now, I see that ABC 11 has gotten in on the act: 






You can link to their cheap gas page here.  It gives you a map of the Raleigh area and prices are updated hourly.



Or, if you're an on-the-go sort, you can grab apps for your phone, like Gas Buddy or Fuel Finder.   Either way, though, no matter how much you're going to spend--don't forget that it could be worse.  You could be driving my old Buick.
