In my town, one gas station is consistently much cheaper than the rest. It ebbs and flows like all the others, but relative to the others, it’s always much cheaper.
Last night, I stopped by to fill up my car. I went inside and paid with cash so it would be 10 cents cheaper than the debit/credit option. After filling up, I had to go back inside once more for change because my car didn’t need as much as I paid. Some others around me did the same.
And when we walked back to our respective cars, we were all rejoicing and cheering for ourselves, as if we had been so clever and won a game. We scored gas under $4! There was an instant kinship. Team Petrol Savings.
