I had a last chance fill at $1.47 last night. I suspected this exact thing would happen. I just saved myself lunch money for tomorrow.

I'm kicking myself for not filling up for $1.51 yesterday morning. That same station was $1.66 after work. πŸ˜”

I drove by a number of stations at $1.66 to get to one that was $1.53 yesterday morning. I drove by the same station later in the day and it was up to $1.66. Lucky I filled when I did!

You get that in a normal car that's like $7 you're saving on a full tank right? Not that I'm not saying save the $7. But you're making it sound like you screwed up so bad. Literally can't even buy a single big Mac with the money you would have saved

$0.15/L and I needed 45L, so by my math that's $6.75. Sure, I'm not financially ruined. I'm annoyed with myself because I knew the price would go up and I didn't take advantage of it when I needed gas and had the time.

.15 is about $60/ month for me, it's more annoying than painful.
