My commute to San Diego on Monday was pretty bad, winds up and over the mountains must have been at least 30-40mph right on the nose. So it’s no surprise really that my petrol fill up today was pretty bad.
Miles driven: 260
Cost to fill tank: $50
Miles per gallon: 23.8
With Premium now impossible to find under $4.50 in San Diego, I really need to be doing better than that. I miss the days where I used to get almost 30.
You must be using a middle grade of petrol? My pump bill is higher than that?
No, it was 91 grade from a 7/11, $4.559 a gallon, but it wasn’t a full tank, only 11 gallons.
I have gone to using Arco/BP now but I really only like to use one brand, if possible, but Chevron is way too expen$ive. $4.50-$4.57 here.
I’m driving one hell of lot less for sure but since Twisty died have little to do. Going to build a pergola on the patio with italian string lighting in the coming weeks, doing the plans now.
How goes the Learjet project?
Ha ha the learjet goes at the pace of a humble piston plane. I’ve had the left wing ready to finish for a few weeks but am scared to do it, can’t face taking out all the rivets if I discover I forgot something.
