My Opinion Counts

I am in shock. I paid $2.96 per gallon for gasoline for my car. It is going to be a good week!

On Sunday, we drove to Indianapolis to pick up my mom at the airport. It was a beautiful day for a drive. Indiana has some of the most beautiful fall foliage. The leaves are deep reds and yellows. The cool weather helps us save on our utility bills. It is nice to turn off the air conditioner and the heater and open all the windows. I love the fresh air.

From CNN online: Stocks surged Monday morning as investors cheered the global response to the deepening financial crisis, following the worst week on Wall Street in history.

If we can all hold on tight and stop looking at our IRA’s and 401K’s we will be ok. Just hang on. I believe things will get better.

Have you noticed how many Prius cars there are on the roads these days? I hear there is a waiting list if you want to buy one. I think they are very pretty and snazzy looking vehicles. I don’t think I would mind the good gas mileage they get. I paid $3.65 per gallon at the gas station today. The two-seat Tesla Roadster is priced at $109,000, so I doubt I will be buying one of those any time soon. I am interested in the Prius since it is a more affordable car.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency the 2008 Prius is the most fuel efficient car sold in the U.S. It is tied with the Mini-Cooper as being the second least CO2-emitting vehicle behind the Volkswagen Polo. The Mini-Cooper is another favorite of mine. We sat in a couple while waiting for our meeting at PayPerPost in Orlando. The Mini-Cooper dealership is across the street.
