I'd be getting in contract with Dr. Phil on this one. Either he will
have you buying more expensive gas, or the wife will be buying cheaper
gas. Shouldn't take more than a few years of therapy.

Or Susie Orman!

She'd say you've got 15 gallons a week times 20 cents savings per
gallon times 50 weeks in a year times 30 years in your marriage =
$4,500 over the life of your marriage.

Back to Dr. Phil, he'd note that it's 10 minutes per week times 50
weeks times 30 years which is 250 hours spent improving your marriage.

You only can decide if the 250 minutes improving your marriage are
worth the $4,500 you save doing it!

You are going to go thru all that trouble to save $200 a year?? You
save $0.20 per gallon. If you swap 20 gallons a week that's $4 a
week, X 52 weeks a year = $208. Seems dumb to me.

Had one of those with a Holly 4bbl. It could suck up black holes.
