Dipping below half a tank. Distances are long in Mendocino county. Several choices beckon at the most intensively lit corner of Willits, the junction of 101 and 20, with three gasoline stations available all night. All high prices, going higher. If I can keep this old Nissan puttering for a few more years, the next vehicle I buy will be petroleum free. Here's hoping. Fingers crossed. It's all a numbers game.

ReplyDeleteVery good Elaine!
ReplyDeleteClever bit of photography thinking got this picture. Nice shot and great idea for numbers.
ReplyDeleteClever, it is. I bet someone come with the price sign of petrol station.
ReplyDeleteAbout the portal, I also noticed the shuffling and I like the fact of randomness of page.
I like your picture and thankful that your speed shows 0.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's original! And leading to the price of petrol which bothers so many of us. Nice shot, well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a smart photo! And I too am glad that you weren't driving!
ReplyDeleteDashboard numbers good choice. Funny how the obvious can pass us by.Yes , clever thinking
ReplyDeleteYes, these are the numbers that many people think about these days. The days are long gone when you could say "fillerup" and drive away with change from a twenty. That'll tell you how old I am - I remember when a cup of coffee was a dime....
ReplyDeleteThose japanese cars not too bad at all, I traded my jeep cherokee for honda for the sake of spike high gasoline. I'll keep mine for another 3-4 years. Interesting post for theme of this month.
ReplyDeleteNice post. I think we are all concerned about the price of fuel.
ReplyDeleteNice one , Elaine. Clever thinking for a photograph. There's already a certain style to be seen on Willets DP.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you recently on RuT..tks for dropping in.
Petrol prices???? Come on....America ain't seen nuthin'. Its almost US$ 10 per gallon here.
Sometimes the best photo subjects are hiding in plain sight. Good job on this one! Here's to elevating the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo...good choice.
ReplyDeleteWith the price of gas, finding photo's without driving is a great idea. I think you're on to something here.
ReplyDeleteMy gas tank is heading toward empty too. I dread looking at the price for gasoline tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you weren't driving when you made this photo -:) Wonderful choice for theme day. Thanks for stopping by my Seattle blog. I appreciate your comments -:)
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Elaine its all a numbers game and you have a very creative post with just that, long distances and pricey petrol. BTW I enjoyed your comments a few days ago on Abe Lincolns blog about your goose story. Very funny. Thank you for
