Gas Prices . . ?

This is one thing I've never understood. People are obsessed with finding the lowest gas price (oooh ooh! Don't fill up here, it's 2 cents cheaper around the corner!)
I don't know, I guess I'm weird. But, I do enjoy the cheap gas in SC as I drive up 85 to all home football games! SC and Alamance County have super cheap gas.

I agree, it's not worth extra driving or even an extra left turn to save a whopping 20 or 30 cents. Actually the only place I saw here where gas dipped under $2 was one that doesn't have pay-at-the-pump. I drove right past it and gladly paid $2.02.
It's been under $2 here for... a month or two easy.
I saw $1.75 at an Ingles Gas Station in Easley I think it was.

My dad is uber anal about paying for the cheapest gas. Back in the '60's we were on a trip from nc to ala and he had to deal with not knowing what station in some podunk town had the cheapest gas. We kept going station to station and pulling up to the pump and driving off as he shopped and leaving the perplexed attendants standing in the lot. (They were all full service back then). Seems ala in general had higher prices and my dad was furious. We were in fumes and my mom was busting his balls hard. She was pissed we were gonna run out after he drove off from one station and i can still remember him saying "ray (last name) will NEVER pay 75 god*#%+ cents for a gal of gas!"
Lol strum my dad had a knack for getting frustrated and doing or saying something embarrassing. Me and my sister were messing around with his freaking stapler as kids will do. Stapling everything in sight. He blew a gasket. Snatched it from me and started lecturing how it wasnt a toy and we could hurt ourselves blah blah blah and as he was waving his hands frantically to emphasize his point he managed to hit himself with the stapler and put a staple right in his cheek.
I completely agree. I don't get it either. Now, with that said, I can save 70 cents on the gallon when I buy gas at Kroger at the end of each month based on my rewards. That's worth it. Last month I filled up two cars that were both on empty for about $50.
Right now here in Central Virginia, gas is under $2 per gallon. Has been for a while.
With my Bi-Lo bonus card fuel perks, I just paid $1.52 a gallon. That's the least I have paid per gallon since... college? I can't remember when. I filled the Cherokee right up! I have to go to Atlanta again tomorrow.
Still around 2.15 in Greensboro. If I Can save a few cents - great - but not gonna drive out of my way to do it.
The only reason I remember is because I had just moved to Jacksonville Fl for a temporary assignment and the gas at the Ga-Fla state line was .99. Otherwise it was a good 1.149
I paid $1.85 in Biloxi MS two weeks ago. Here it's gone from a low of $2.05 to $2.28 in the last two weeks.
