Why do people wait in line for gas?

[GRADS]

I just don't get it.

I went to the gas station earlier and when I pulled in there were lines for every pump 2 and 3 cars deep. I looked at the station next door that is literally in the same parking lot about 50 feet away and there wasn't a single car in the entire station.

And then I realized the gas in that station was 5 cents more a gallon. So I went next door, pulled right up to the pump and put my 18 gallons in the car. As I was pulling out I looked back at the other gas station and most of the cars that were waiting when I pulled in were still waiting.

It cost me an extra 90 cents to not wait in line....I don't know about you but my time is worth more than that, and that says a lot.

There's a baller status joke here somewhere but I totally get where you're coming from.
I've known people that will drive across town to save a few cents per gallon. I think for some it's just the appearance of saving makes it worth it.
Maybe if you're filling up a motorhome. 100 gallons equals 5.00 bucks.

I was filling up my Mercedes.

And I'm supposed to be intimidated?
Have you put 90 gallons of diesel at 4.29 per gallon before. Yea, it hurts.

That $0.05 per gallon adds up over time.

Adds up to a lot wasted time. Life is short.

1000 gallons is 50 bucks.
If you can afford 1000 gallons of fuel, 50 bucks probably isn't shit.
