I remember my first summer drive with the windows down and the 8-Track blaring my favorite Led Zepplin tune. There is just something special about taking a drive in the country, mountains, coast, or wherever your favorite place is. First, you wash the exterior and interior to a sparkling clean condition and top off all the fluids. Next, you grab your favorite music. Maybe you stop by to pick up a friend or two. Now it is time to drive to that favorite destination. In no way are you in any kind of hurry. As you wind on down the highway, with your stereo blaring, you take in the fresh air and the scenery. Of course, this was back in days when gas was under a buck a gallon. You didn’t have to be concerned about how you would afford your summer highway cruise.
Nowadays, you have to pause to consider how much your summer jaunt is going to set you back. With gas prices hovering about $3 a gallon, it takes a bigger bite out of a young person’s budget. A nice summer’s day drive has to planned and budgeted for these days. All in all, it still is a bargain compared to other things you could sink your hard earned cash into.
I will be setting up a permanent link to AAA’s fuelgaugereport.com so that you can keep a close eye on what gas is doing in your neck-o-the-woods.
