Playing Chicken with the $4 mark
Gas stations around here have yet to break the $4 barrier on unleaded gas. It’s coming soon though, the station nearest my house is $3.98 today.
So I just accepted a position requiring a longer commute. I did calculate gas into my minimum acceptable salary, but figured it at $4/gallon. Luckily we negotiated a salary above my minimum so I should be able to handle $6/gallon gas no problem.
