Topping Off the Tank for Errands

Buying gas keeps life moving. There is a rhythm to the process. First, swipe the card and then hear the hum of the pump. Smell the scent of fuel in the air. Finally, the sweet satisfaction of knowing you're ready to hit the road.

My 6 word story and Half and Half day 6
Fits both very well! And your narrative somehow makes stopping for a fill-up sound enjoyable! I suppose it could be, if gas prices wouldn't be so high!

Creative h&h (I don’t miss buying gas since I gave up my car)

Would be interesting to know how much your gas is? In our area of Illinois it from $3.29 to $3.39 for regular.

@illinilass Thanks ! Always fluctuating gas prices in my area likely due to supply and demand changes. On this day, I paid $4.05 per gallon (regular) at my neighborhood station for the convenience of using the credit card to top off the tank. ☹ Cash is less. Since I get rewards on the card, it evens out.

I live outside Seattle in a fast growing urban area but if I travel over to Tacoma, the prices are significantly lower. Traveling into Seattle, the price goes up to $4.52 and higher. Gas is always lower at Costco ($3.85) but long lines. I like using Safeway ($3.95) because they give you gas points when you buy groceries. Using these points can ease the cost of gas at their pumps and partner stations. Our area's higher gas costs are due to a combination of factors including high gas taxes and fees on top of the base price.

@rensala Thanks for taking time to view this photo. Missing the use of a car must be an interesting adjustment.
