Noticed that there are several news stories out about how Americans spent a record $481b on gasoline in 2011, and that works out to an average of $4,155/family (including *all* families, even the urban ones who don't own a car and spent zero). So since we only use one rewards card for gasoline and it has a handy "year-end review", I checked and found out that we spent ~$1,000 including a road trip back east to see family. Without that we probably would have been closer to ~$750.
I guess all of the bicycle commuting really does pay off? The wife logged over 2,000 miles this year, and that was still only about 1/2 the time, with the other half being weather-related or out of town for work (I probably logged as many "commuting" trips, but my commute is closer to 2 miles instead of 12.5).
