   I can't keep cash in my pocket long enough to save it for gas. That's why   
   I went cashless, not to mention that bank pays me to use the Debit/Credit   
   Card. I get a check in the mail from my financial institution every   
   spring. That amounts to 10 cents per transaction, which at the end of the   
   year grows to a very tidy sum.

   I spent nearly that amount yesterday. Like you, I don't like to let the   
   tank get too much lower than half a tank, but let it slip to 1/4 tank   
   after taking a trip to San Antonio. I usually put 10 gals in the tank and   
   with the price changes, that works out nicely. When the pump reached 10   
   gals yesterday, I wasn't paying attention and it went over about two   
   gallons, so I decided to put in 15 gallons. At $3.09/per, that came to   
   almost $50...used to fill up the 68 Camaro (in 1968) with that amount of   
   100 octane premium fuel, at just 36 cents/gal...What a deal!
