Many gas stations in Arizona are over $3.00 a gallon. PhoenixGasPrices.com says prices have increased 46¢ in a month, partially due to planned and unplanned refinery maintenance in California shrinking demand.
The Earthquake State hit $4.00 a gallon, the highest since 2014.
I had talked to a family about getting them paperwork before the weekend, but I did not think that we established when they needed it. I was getting ready to see my first client today when I messaged the family to see when they needed it.
Pretty much right then.
So, I messaged the family with which I had an appointment saying that I would be delayed doing paperwork, and replaced a page in a .PDF with a version that my supervisor had signed.
Of course, that would not go quietly into the night. Then Mom asked me where in town had the cheapest gas. It only took a minute or two, but I was already late!
I am really bad at planning, remembering, executing... anyway, I was approaching empty yesterday and somehow thought that I would remember to get gas before my first appointment. I made it just fine, but I absolutely do not like going
below empty, even though obviously I am not.
That just seems like Russian roulette. What have Russians ever done for us?!
So, both of us needed gas, and hopefully Safeway had a discount, so I carefully drove out after my two appointments, parked, walked home, drove Mom's car, filled up both using the same discount...and saved 25¢ over the cheapest place in town.
Drove Mom's car home, walked back, drove to the cheapest place in town, and got anther 5.5 gallons for 1¢ more than at Safeway with the discount.
Is it supposed to take two hours to get gas?
I need to figure out how to check the fuel discounts.
