I remember in October that just finding that gas was like winning the lottery!!!

Okay, so I drive 20 miles round trip to Miramar Tom Thumb to save .20 per gal x 20 gallons = $ 4 savings. That is if I use the gas station closest to me. If I compare those savings to the next closest one to me, I would save .08 per gal x 20 gal = 1.60 savings yet it would still cost me 2.31 cents of additional fuel consumption to get there, thereby causing me to have a net loss of $.71 for driving farther to save money.

deduct 1 gallon of gas for my car burning fuel to get there (-$2.31), add to that the wear and tear on my car and driving time of about 25 minutes, plus a greater potential to be in a traffic accident by being on the road more and driving into a congested area.

So without the wear and tear and time driving there and back, I actually save $1.69. The question is, was it worth it? Answer, not for me. I cannot remember the last time I shopped for gas. To me, it is almost like my dad driving around the parking lot at the mall for five minutes waiting to score the front row parking spot.

of course not...but if the station is closer...then you save money...otherwise...forget it and suck it up
