Gas Prices On The Rise

At the beginning of the year and started keeping track of the cost (and amount) of gas I use by entering my receipts into a Google spreadsheet.
When I graphed out the price of gas over the last few months it is quite eye opening on how much I am paying:

This is one of the reasons I love keeping track of data. As I fill up a the tank every week or so I don't really notice the price jumping that much but looking at the data it becomes clear as to where my money is going!
I also find it interesting to track my gas mileage. (I actually noticed when Atlanta switched to the Summer blend because my fuel economy went up 2mpg!)

Help me put an end to childhood cancer! As a father of two I was deeply moved by this video: I’m going to do something pretty extreme, and I’m asking you to support me with a donation for childhood cancer research! What am I doing?  I’m going to have my head shaved at a St. Baldrick’s Foundation event. With my bald head, I’ll stand in solidarity with kids being treated for cancer. But the real point of all this is to raise money for life-saving research.  I’m doing it for infants, children, teens and young adults fighting cancer.  While it’s especially hard to think of kids fighting cancer, I’m also glad to know that some of the research supported by this foundation ultimately helps to fight all cancers. Please make a donation on my head and come watch us “Shaving the Way to Conquer Kids’ Cancer!” March 10th at The Harp Irish Pub 1425 Market Blvd Suite 1339 Roswell, GA http://tinyurl.com/BaldDrew
