As you probably know, we have been driving Nathan to speech on Wednesdays and Fridays for nearly a year now. It's a great expense of time and money--it's an hour drive to the U of U and an hour back. The only vehicle we had available to us was our big family car--the Expedition.
Last month my little brother gave us his old little car. It cost us a bit more than we expected to get it on the road ($700) but it only raised our insurance by $16 each month and we had high hopes. We started driving the little car in February...
Drumroll....
Our gas bill was $162 less in February than in January (in spite of rising gas prices). Remarkable!! And wear and tear (tires, brakes) is cheaper on the little Subaru than it is for the big Expedition so that's a savings as well!!
Thanks little brother!!!!

Yay! An hour there and back? That's a long time. You are such a great mom to put so much time and effort in.
