And if you drive a typical car more than a mile out of your way for each penny you save on the per-gallon price,

it doesn't matter how worthless your time is to you--the gas to get you there and back costs more than you save.

That's precisely he type of calculation I make for everything I do since retiring.

Hah.

and here I thought I was the only one who thought this way XD

the time calculation argument is often fallacious, but the distance one is quite correct.

This is why I try to do my gas purchases when my errands take me by the cheap-gas stations anyway.

This is why I siphon gas from my neighbours.

This is why I ride a scooter which gets 100mpg, so I can dgaf about gas prices

Hey! You screwed up my manly pride in trying to save money by driving around listening to tunes looking for cheap gas.
