This morning, I filled up my 2001 Toyota Corolloa at a Redondo Beach 76 gas station.

I heard that if you fill up in the morning, it's cheaper because the gasoline inside the tanks are cooler and therefore take up less volume. So you get more for your money.

I don't know if I saved anything from filling up in the morning, but I do know that I paid more per gallon than I ever have. For regular unleaded, I paid $3.959 a gallon, or $34.32 for 8.67 gallons.

I'm not sure how much of a dent a tax rebate check will put into the rising cost of gas (and food).

It's a sign of the times.
