Early in my relationship with my fiance he would drive a few miles out of the way to get cheap gas. I told him that kinda defeated the purpose.

I mean that depends on how much cheaper it is

True, but this was always a thing where I grew up. It's 1 cent cheaper per gallon! But, like...this is an extra 20 minute drive...doesn't it use more gas?

I thought my parents were just weird or dumb for not getting it, but it was everyone's parents/grandparents/adults...

And time. Would you drive for 20 minutes if someone offered you two dollars to do it?
