Week 1 Gas Challenge-June 12-June 18

We officially started the gas challenge last week! And it is going well! We are definitely having some successes, but there are also ways we can continue to improve.
We started the week with our mileage at 129,305.
We ended the week with our mileage at 129,543.
So, in one given week we traveled 238 miles. Not bad, I thought considering we took a trip to see my grandparents out in the far 'burbs (if you could even call their town a suburb.) I'd love to see this number halved!!!!
We consolidated trips, I walked with the kids to the library, Greg rode his bike to meet with his mentor rather than drive, and I took a long walk with the kids on Friday to the science store! We also needed a part for our bike trailer, but rather than take the trip to the bike shop, I knew we would be seeing the bike shop's owner at a party that day, so I called for "delivery!" And they happily obliged! (It helps that they are friends and we go there for all of of bike needs!)
