Chevron is always higher.
I notice on nice areas you have a Chevron that is usually a quarter more.

I spend about $120/week on gas. So a few cents can add up.

This thread reminds me of how dumb people with a lot of money think.

To each their own I guess.

Not I. But I have a gas card that gets paid off thanks to Exxon so I haven’t paid for gas in years.

Troof. It’s not as much how much you make, but how much you keep.

I drive a Tundra, so I care. But then again, I wouldn’t have bought a Tundra if I cared that much.

No, but it may stop him from buying as much. Seriously, this is really simple. Price goes up, demand goes down. Demand doesn't become non-existent.

It's amazing how many people cant understand this.


Price goes up, I may fill up only what I know I need to accomplish my tasks instead of filling it up.

I will spend more time at home instead of driving different places.

My habits will change based on this.

Everybody understands this

It’s just that it would take gas being triple what it is now for a lot of people to start that.

Apparently $3/gal and people think the sky is falling

I’d love to hear your reasoning for that

According to the OP, the price of gas doesn't matter.

If that's the case, why does it have to be high?

I don't understand people who go out of their way to save 5-10 cents a gallon.

You're wrong, but let's use your flawed logic. Gas was around $1.50 or so not all that long ago and were quickly approaching $3/gallon. That would be the price doubling, so would we not, at minimum, start to be concerned?

You're logic, or lack there of, is retarded, and using your retarded logic youre still wrong. It's pretty remarkable you you're able to do that.

If the current prices are affecting your quality of life now then I suggest you change careers

They affect the quality of everyone's life. I'd rather put $100 a month in my pocket instead of my gas tank. I'll be able to pay my bills either way, but I'd rather keep my money.

Congrats on not understanding economics or money management. Have fun working until you die dumbass. I guess if you work 800 hours of overtime a year to make what most professionals make you don't care what shite costs.
