I am feeling really bad this afternoon.  My back left wheel is wobbling.  We went to the tyre place and had them tighten, but it is still wobbling.  So I just put it down until I can afford to go to the garage with it.  :(  why am I feeling bad?   My gas station chooses today for their big gas sale!!!  100 hundred customers are going to get free gas today, apart from the sale.  And i can't benefit!!!  >:(  I feel like wobbling my way over there!

My back left wheel is wobbling. 

It didn't wobble when I wode in it..must be a new problem.  Hey Bajanne, what can I do with the Barbados $20 bill in my wallet?  We bought $13 worth of gas on Antigua with US $20 and got that as change.  I now have my official sit on the right and drive on the left wings and my official Antigua drivers license which will be the subject of another post.  We did return the car with no damage!

Are you sure it was a Barbados dollar bill or an Eastern Caribbean dollar bill? they use EC$ in Antigua and we use the BDS$ in Barbados.
The wobbling only started a day or two ago.  I need to buy another tyre very soon, but for now, the jeep is just parked up.

It's around $3.51 for unleaded here.  The station across from the clinic I used to visit, the biggest price gouger in our city, is $3.90.  Their premium is $4.09.   :o

This is another site to find cheaper gas.
 
Just enter your  zip code in the site below, and it tells you which gas stations have the cheapest
prices (and the highest) on gasoline in your zip code  area.  It's updated every evening. Be sure to scroll down after getting a map of your area.

If you don't know where the gas station is at, look for it on another map. I have found some errors on their map listings of local gas stations here. Gas stations that don't exist in the area they show, which should be located on a different part of the map. But it is a good comparison if you know the area. I use to use it when my old vehicle only took regular gas, but now my vehicle takes E-85 and only one station sells it close to me.

$3.52. We use a credit card that gives us 5% back on gas purchases and we use it only to buy gas. So we're not too concerned about the cost of gas right now. Plus, I do work from home and my classes are only an 8 minute drive from our house, and my husband's drive to work is only 15 minutes. We don't fill up too often thankfully.

Anywhere from $3.49 - $3.51 here in San Antonio, TX.  That's for Regular Unleaded.

My husband makes his own bio-diesel from used cooking grease that he picks up from local restaraunts and he pays less than $1.00/gal (that includes the other ingredients).  He is currently selling it for $3.30/gal to local farmers, truckers, etc.  Plus, you get more miles to the gal. with bio-diesel.  We're looking into getting me a diesel, as well.

We're paying about $4.65 US dollars per american gallon in Toronto   ($1.20 per litre).  It's higher I believe in Newfoundland and Vancouver and also in the north.
