After I picked the kids up from school, I stopped to get gas. I was getting the ‘low fuel’ warning from the HHR.

As I was pumping gas, I was trying to think of the last time I put gas in the HHR. I couldn’t remember; it’s been forever. So when I got home, I fired up Quicken and realized this is the first time I put gas in it in 2009!

I guess one of the benefits of living so close to everything is that we barely use gas.

Just for the record, including this fill-up today the total gasoline cost for the household (both vehicles) in 2009 has been $53.55.
