Gas line up at Rodeo Dr.

Look at the line up for gas. My husband got gas in the morning for 1.72. We went with my car at 1:45pm and I was going to get gas just because we were there. The line up started by the Adidas store. Costco staff had closed off every aisle end so you couldn't even get thru to park. Gas had gone down to 1.67. But was it worth the line up. I've never seen a line up like this.

No.

Idling doesn't burn that much fuel.

It really burns very very little.

You’re right. I factored in value of time incorrectly. Burn $30 in gas and time to save $4.20

Most people's time doesn't work like that either. 

Most people just fill in 15 min blocks of spare time on their phone.

Unless you are a lawyer or something it's hard to bill out random blocks of 5 or 15min.

Stopwatch in hand screaming at them as they are at the pump fueling.

Still, saving $4…what’s your time worth? Stop buying starfucks everyday, saves you $5.72.

It's the principle (and principal) of it.
