GasBuddy.com – Find cheap gas prices in your city
In Israel, we were thrilled when we found anything under USD$4.50 a gallon (equivalent). Back in the states, we aren’t so shocked with the gas prices, but somehow, I’d forgotten how EXPENSIVE it is to drive a gas guzzler. When you think about a gas guzzler vehicle, I’m sure you are thinking SUV or something […]

Everything was unplugged, but it seems that the surge came through anyway. With everything else […]
