Many folks really pay attention to a nickel or dime savings on gas and it makes a huge difference to them. If you're not going out of your way to save a nickel, fine. But if you're spending an extra $2 in has to save $1.50, that makes no sense at all. I really didn't intend that pun. Really. :)vanillajanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900731824539473698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631817465149954711.post-3029959306641254782011-04-12T07:50:15.239-07:002011-04-12T07:50:15.239-07:00You could also probably go to Costco and get a 5 g...You could also probably go to Costco and get a 5 gallon gas can- size container of Scope for $23, also bringing the price down. I like how you think Steve- a real bargain shopper. So maybe the lesson here is to use one of those gas price comparison websites? As long as you're not actually going out of your way to buy cheaper gas that is. Because, in the end, do you really save if you had to drive an extra five mile to pay 5 cents less per gallon?SRTC Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712647581551158820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631817465149954711.post-73525473047240590692011-04-11T22:16:19.841-07:002011-04-11T22:16:19.841-07:00I just bought 32oz bottles of Gatorade at 2/$3.00....I just bought 32oz bottles of Gatorade at 2/$3.00.

I do buy it in gallons and pay a little over $2.00/gallon.<br /><br />I suppose you can buy Scope in travel size bottles, but you would be better served to buy the 50.7oz bottle for $5.78, bringing it down to $14.59/gallon.<br /><br />"I can prove anything by statistics - except the truth." -- George CanningStevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631817465149954711.post-29034233174871896932011-04-11T17:08:01.107-07:002011-04-11T17:08:01.107-07:00Not that I would like to pay a lot for gas, but......Not that I would like to pay a lot for gas, but...<br /><br />If it cost less to manufacture goods here than to have 3rd world countries do it because of high fuel prices, we might all have more jobs.<br /><br />This is only one variable, though.vanillajanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900731824539473698noreply@blogger.com
