On the way home from work this evening, I bought gas. It's strange that although the price of crude hit records at over $100 per barrel, the price at the pumps is lower than during most of last year. That's another story, however.I just thought I'd share an observation I noted about myself. Now that all petrol pumps everywhere accept credit cards, I never ever use cash at a gas station. In fact, I hardly use cash at all. Again, that's another story.
What I noticed when filling up today was how determined I am to make the total come out to an even number. You know what I mean. If I overshoot $29.00 by a few cents, I automatically try to squeeze in enough to make it $29.50 or maybe an even $30.00.
Why?
It's not like I'm getting change back. You'll notice that today I left it at $29.09.
