So serious question if you drive all the way across town just to fill up and it is only to save 16 cents a gallon and let's say you put in 10 gallons so you save like 1.60$ which is awesome. How ever lets say that trip was only 20 miles round trip and let's say you get 30MPG (I know I don't but some do) you just wasted like 2/3 a gallon so like the trip cost you 1.76$ in gas so now you wasted more time and 16 more cents than you had to?? Or were you just kidding??
Across town isn't 20 miles rt....it's like averagely 5 ish miles depending on where I leave from (typically work) interstate miles and I get about 40MPG, and typically I'll tack on another task- shopping at the outlets, Target etc.
But yes I'm partially kidding and partially serious. I've lived in my house for 16 months and not once have I purchased gas on my side of town.....and I have to fill up every 2 1/2 weeks if I stay in town
I also only go where I can use my Fuel Perks
And fortunately I'm moving to my hometown in two weeks and to get to my new library I have to drive through the area of town with the cheapest gas so I'm winning there.
