Shred and gas

I have been doing a lot pf large(for me) pick-ups the last 45 days or so. Some of the places i have had to go to more than once. These pick-ups have been all over Charlotte and surrounding areas so I have put more miles on my car than normal. I also have had to make more trips to the yard to sell shred. My yard was at .065 for shred a month ago, went down to .05 and is back to .055 this past weekend. The good news is that with all the extra miles i have driven gas has dropped over this same time period from around $2.25 to $1.95 per gallon. I'll take lower gas anytime(I have 4 cars in the family).
