Lord, they go up fast. I remember last time we filled up our tank at around $2.6 a gallon, two weeks ago, now is $2.83. I was shocked. Actually, maybe I shouldn't be since the oil price has reached $95! I won't be surprised if gas goes up to over $3 by Christmas, right on time for heavy travel season. We went to Walmart this weekend, and usually the gas price there is cheaper than around our house, so luckily we filled up. According to P, the gas price around our house has gone up to $2.9.
We use a cash reward card from Pentagon Federal Credit Union which will have 5% back on gas and 1.25% on everything else. This is our main credit card for now and I really have no desire to change anytime soon. The article on Washington Post this weekend about people gaming the credit card rewards system looks like a lot of work to me :) for just 2% of return.
We also do oil change on our car this weekend too. It has been over 5000 miles since we did the last oil change and with the cold weather and possible holiday trip planning, we think it is better to do this maintenance now. Of course, with the gas price sky high, it will help with millage too!
