Want to save money? Try running your car on pure gas rather than fuel mixed with ethanol.

Last week, I took a road trip to Roanoke, Va.

Before I left York County, I filled up on gasoline that contains no ethanol. Only about three stations in the area sell pure gas. The rest peddle fuel that contains 10 percent ethanol.

I made the trip and still had a half tank left from my original fill-up some 300 miles back.

A week later, before I hit the road back to York, I filled up on gas that contained ethanol.

I took the same route and made the same one stop. When I arrived home, I had burned through three-quarters of a tank of gas.

Ethanol may have environmental benefits, but you're not saving any money behind the wheel.

So, my husband read my post this weekend and laughed at me.

He's like, "You don't fly." He's right, I don't fly ... often. Maybe once every two years.

But, I'm telling ya, if I do fly in the future, I'm not paying $7 for a freaken airline pillow!

If you want comfort, it's going to cost you.
If I want a pillow on my US Airways flight, I now have to pay for it. There's a fee for pillows on airplanes. To be fair, US Airways is not the first airline to make you pay for it.
No thanks. I'll just bring my own.

Lazy Sundays usually start out this way in my home. We take it easy in the morning, read the paper, surf the Web, drink coffee and sometimes throw together some pancakes. Then the question always gets raised by my husband:

So, my earlier post this week about looking forward to traveling on Thanksgiving day was a little misinformed. I had perceived traffic would be light. Not the case.
