A friend and I were talking about gas prices the other day. I was complaining about how much it cost to fill the tank.

She said, "I pay the same price for gas I always have".

I was stunned and asked her how she managed that.
She said, "I always put $20 in my tank".

I guess if you put 20 in at a time then it doesn't seem so bad. :-)

Yeah, but you get to know the folks at the gas station pretty well since you have to go back so often.

LOL!! I know! I actually tried this once and I think it cost me more money wise for gas then if I had just filled the tank.
