      My car can go for about 400 miles and when I get down to about 70-80 I pump. I think the lowest I let it go was with 30-40 miles to go and that was stressful

    Tip for anyone who gets a new ear piercing and can’t sleep on that side for x amount of time. Get one of those claw hair clips and put it in your hair on the side you got your piercing before bed. So when you subconsciously go to roll over in the middle of the night it will hurt and you will roll back over to the other side.

    I’m currently privileged enough to work from home, so I only put about half a tank, which is $35 in my car every other week or so. With the price of everything being so high I don’t want my money tied up in gas in a car I don’t drive as much as when I worked in an office.
