It's a good thing we are on a small island and have to fill-up our pickup truck about once a month. Elise got it filled up yesterday: $105.22. We are well over $4/gallon. This past month also included three trips out towards the end of the road (20 miles each way). Without those trips, I think we could have gone a couple more weeks without refueling. The Alaska legislature voted to give $1,200 per resident for fuel assistance (heating, cars, boats, etc.). That is going to be welcome relief. It's also time to walk and bicycle even more. If we get a second vehicle (since Shelley can drive if she wants to), electric vehicles will definitely be high on the list (less then 10-cents/mile vs. $1/mile).
