I purchased my car 6 years ago unconcerned about the recommended octane.  I'm a 93 octane girl.  With the recent cost of gasoline, it generally costs me about $65+ to fill up my 18 gallon tank.  As a result to keep my feelings from being hurt, I now fill up when it gets half empty.  Well today as I was going to the commissary, I passed the military gas station to see the gas was priced at 3.95, 4.10 and 4.15, respectively.  As you would know the lines were long but I joyfully stopped anyway.  As an added bonus, my gas tank is on the right side of my car while most vehicles fill up on the left.  That gave me a green light for faster service.  When I finally finished pumping my gas, the meter stopped at $51.05.  While that is still equivalent to dinner for 4 at Outback, I know it could have been worse.  I don't know how much longer we will have to endure these high prices but I don't see an end in sight.

Latonia, thanks for the comment that you left me. It was my pleasure to see your listing. It is indeed a beautiful home. As for the gas prices, you're a better woman than me, because I would probably use Mid-Grade or Regular. You're right, this blogging can become addictive.

Hi Dorleen,

I would love to have a buyer for the house who also thinks it is nice.  I have to make sure I don't get too impatient in this slower market period.  Thanks for stopping by and blessings.
