To Non-US readers: That's expensive to us. Spoiled, aren't we?

Default I find I live from one "wacky wednesday" or "thrifty tuesday" to another...

...and actually try to plan my trips so I am near a station with discounted premium so I can fill up.

I just paid $1.62 last night (in maryland) on a thrifty thursday, down from $1.68.

Makes me wonder if that gas at Sheetz is any good.

Default You spent $35K on a car, then re-arrange your life to save 96 cents?

C'mon, Jeff...even if the tank was empty:
16 * $1.68 = $26.88
16 * $1.62 = $25.92
------
.96

Life's too short to worry about 96 cents.

Hey, it's a rant, which is no place for math.

Default EXACTLY! :)

Its the concept I just can't shake. "AAA! I'm paying too much!"

(and for Roger... I exaggerated how much I rearrange my life to do it for comedic effect. I also did some additional math, and that $0.96 twice a week is almost $100 a year! That's almost an entire tire! That's 1/4 of an APR chip!)

(that was more comedic exaggeration =) )
