I won't be going ANYWHERE this summer. This is going to kill the vacations of many people, right?

$28 to fill our rust-bucket '96 Nissan Sentra GXE (Gas here is $2.74 a gallon), which still averages 35-36 miles per gallon even after over 307,000 miles on it. The Nissan is the only vehicle we own (bka the "Black Death Wildlife Eradicator"), And Deb's employer in 45 miles away (One way trip), So we average close to 600 miles a week on our beloved car...Oh, Deb behind the wheel-2/Large Wildlife-0 (A deer sure can leave a huge dent when one commits suicide on your front fender)

Thankfully our only major summer trip will be on Memorial Day weekend (Within state, Thank God!!!)...Otherwise I plan to sit on my duff and try to rest/heal (No Mac tour=No trip!!!)
