    Then I drive another 3 miles to taco bell then I drive 20 miles to save 3 cents per gallon on $50 worth of gas, then I do workout victory burnouts in the parking lot. I DO IT BIG NINJA

      OH MY GOD every time I hear some Midwestern person tell me how proud they were that they drove 20+ miles (one way) to save <$1 per gallon on gas. They’re so disconnected, gas is just a requirement of living. Distance does not compute in their calculation, it’s just “yup I saved money”.

      Even if you did save money, that’s an hour of driving. Even at minimum wage was it worth your time to do that?

          I mean, a 3-hour drive is not bad if you don’t do it all the time.
