$2.94
18.4 cents X 16 gallons
These "Federal gas tax holidays" proposed by two of the three Presidential candidates will save you $2.94 per 16 gallon FILL UP --->currently a $53.12 purchase-that is @ $3.32 ($3.50- .184) per gallon)*
$2.94 How will YOU spend it?
* this assumes that no states or oil companies sieze upon this opportunity to increase their take

that 1990 Prizm that gets 36 mpg. Motor finally gave out after 400K. Getting it overhauled.
After that, sending money to progressive Democratic candidates down ticket.
And my husband will spend his buying an air engine. He's going to try and convert an old dead Civic. Stay tuned.

On a one-way ticket to Argentina. My house is in escrow (not a small feat for Phoenix these days), and I've planned this for a long time.

14. I'm in the enviable position of living on far less than my income |
|
right now, so likely it will just get stashed in the bank with the rest of the money waiting for my surgeries to be finished so I can look for a new home elsewhere.
I estimate what I'll get will just about equal my monthly Kiva loans.
