Well, today my streak ended. I drove for the first time. But before i get to that, i will explain the good part of the day. I was going to bike to work (yes i worked AGAIN), but my brother once again offered me a ride. So i didn't have to drive again which is so nice. Work was very stressful today, it was insanely busy. I hit 52.5 hours of work this week... that's 12.5 hours overtime... However, my work won't pay me overtime, they just add the hours on to the next week to make the next week 40 hours!
After work, i hung out with my girlfriend who just got back from vacation. We were going to ride bikes, but she felt very sick on and off during the day, and she didn't want to risk getting sick from biking. This drive really wasn't a big deal, it is only 2 miles each way, so barely any gas was used. It is a little bit disappointing to have driven this early on in the summer, but it had to happen at some point. my new goal is just to make it through the summer on this one tank of gas.
Gas is up to $4.29 now, so i will start calculating my money saved based on the summer average. I will take the price of every Sunday of the summer and average it. The first one was $3.99, and now it is $4.29- so that is an average of $4.14.
Total summer mileage: 15.9 miles
Money saved on gas (20 mpg at $4.14 per gallon): $3.29
