Today was odd in that when I got to Costco, the pumps were programmed wrong, and charging the wrong price for gas. It was $7.777 a gallon!
A guy with a three-wheel motorcycle had just finished pumping $100 into his tank at that price, and a woman warned me to not pump anything, because she hit $60 before noticing the trouble.
The station attendant was on the phone trying to sort things out. This must have been hard at 6:30 in the morning.
So I went to Wawa and got 2.996 gallons and made it to work, where I filled the remaining tank with 8.816 gallons, for a total of 11.812 gallons on 450.3 miles for this tank. Mileage was pretty good at 38.12 MPG.
My "low fuel" light did not turn on until I passed 404 miles this tank, which was nice.
I have spent $415.37 so far this year on gas, at an average price of $2.312 per gallon.
Last year after the same number of tanks, I had spent $421.23 on gas, at an average price of $2.384 per gallon.
But this year I have travelled 6567.3 miles on 17 tanks, while last year I made it only 6376.9 miles on the first 17 tanks.
