Now that gas is $5 per gallon, do you drive around longer looking to save on the price per gallon?
I was listening to a radio show in which callers were offering their rules of thumb, such as: “If I can save at least 15 cents, it is worth it. Gas is too expensive!”
In a similar vein, nightly news reports are providing the locations with the “cheapest gas,” essentially encouraging bargain hunting among gas purchasers. People are being hit hard by the rise of prices, and it’s understandable to look for ways to cut expenses. But driving farther to save on gas prices is irrational.
