In my wallet yesterday.
I try to keep about 20 gallons of no-ethanol gas on hand, to run yard equipment, and to power the generator in case of emergencies. But I'm sometimes a bit lax, and don't keep things topped up like I should.
So yesterday I filled up the push mower and finished off a 5 gallon can. When I put it away, I shook the can next to it, thinking I was down to my last 5 gallons. Nope. I was down to zero gallons. 5 gas cans, all empty. Ugh.
So off to the station I went. I pumped 19 gallons of no-ethanol gas, for the meager little sum of $75.98.
I know, I know. Stop whining. But YIKES.
