A one time purchase on THAT day is meaningless in the long run. Each day thereafter it will be ............... higher than that day. A for no good reason, just phony claims.

Of course it is (and I don't disagree with the rest of what you said). The original question is pretty stupid.

No I am retired but even when I was working, I did not get paid, once I had finished for the day.


brought up on: a penny saved, is a penny earned.

And I was raised on a concept of maximizing revenue when you were at work, and prioritizing family and rest time. That priority does not include making an unnecessary trip to a gas station to save a trivial amount of money (in this case, less than $2). I'm not going to waste any more time explaining something that would be obvious to most. EOM.

Gee, thanks. Not relevant?

Who said anything about making a special trip? I buy my gas on the way home from work. My wife and I would fill about 30 gallons. That would buy me a nice fish sandwich...
