Great Gas Challenge Update
The Great Gas Challenge is well underway. Today marks exactly 4 weeks since we last purchased gas for our little Escort and we are still going strong with over 1/4 tank left (we started with almost 3/4 of a tank).
In that 4 weeks, we estimate that we have substituted over 125 miles of walking or biking for driving to accomplish our normal household chores.
I love walking or biking past people filling up at the gas station for over $3/per gallon and laughing, sometimes out loud, sometimes quietly to myself, depending on whether they are driving an SUV or not. 
We’ve also substituted biking for enjoyment purposes for more traditional leisure activities like movies since the theater is just a bit out of non-driving range, so we’re saving money too!
I’ve also noticed a funny thing popping out of my lower leg…my husband says its a muscle?! 
Our original goal was to make it to Earth Day, which would have been almost 3 weeks without buying gasoline, but since we’ve made it this far and things are looking so good, we are now shooting for Memorial Day weekend!
