> I often make a decision about where to purchase gasoline based on a price difference of just a few cents. It really adds up, especially if you let your tank dwindle to near-empty. I'm almost certain that I've chosen one station over another before based on a one-cent different in the price.

A three-cent difference in the price of gasoline means slightly more than a quarter to fill up my car's gas tank. Is it really worth twenty-five cents of my time to travel a block or two and wait in line to save half of the cost of a newspaper? If it takes an extra three minutes to get to the slightly cheaper gas station's pumps, that means my time is worth five dollars an hour.

With the three-cent difference in gas prices, I'm paying about $12 more in gas per year than J. Grishny, but I've gained two hours and twenty-four minutes more in life than he did that year.

(Which I can spend on important things such as letting people on the Message Forum know I have more time than they do, so I can tell people that.)
