Topic: Would you wait in line for 20 minutes to save 25 cents?

Worst thing is... if they idle their cars while waiting, it'll end up costing them more money in gas than if they filled up next door. A car idling wastes about 1,2 to 1,6 l/hour IIRC, so if they idle for 15-20 minutes, they'll waste 0,3 to 0,5 liters, times 90,6 cents, that's around 27 to 45 cents of gas wasted waiting.

I personally fill up basically always at the same stations because they're on my way to and from work and I don't have to waste time going around a bit, even if the price of gas is 1 or 2 cents more per liter.

Occasionally gas stations in NB used to get into price wars. People would wait over an hour to save 5¢/L. On the news coverage of one such event an interviewed woman claimed that it would save her "like...half the cost of a tank."

You can sit in gas station line-ups and not save anything.

I crossed over to the US yesterday and saved over 10 cents per liter. It took 54.9 liters in a 55 liter tank. Talk about cutting it close.
