I drive past a particular local gas station every day and continually see lines at each of the pumps. It’s not surprising to see people filling up, but it is surprising that they’re doing it at this particular station. After checking Gas Buddy, I know for a fact that they have the highest prices in the area. A quick search shows that another station 5 blocks away sells gas for about 18 cents/gallon less. For the life of me, I can ‘t figure out why people would pay so much for gas when a cheaper option is just down the road.

Perhaps some people don’t enjoy saving money. You’ll find me driving the extra 5 blocks to save a little money.
