it was $3.59 to $3.61 when DD13 and i drove home from school today, but who knows, it may have already gone up again since then. this makes me want to cry. i know other areas of the country are paying more, but the wages are much lower here (NE alabama) and this is REALLY hurting us. my DH is working 60-84 hours per week, and that's just barely paying for the gas we're using now-and we don't even drive much-school and back (2x a day) and two trips to town (13-14 miles away) per week. i fill up my car at 1/2 tank, and it still costs $52.00+.
