Filling gas tank. Even dollar amount? (1 Viewer)

[cstu]

A question for those who need the even dollar amount: When you tip, do you make sure your tip is even also. For example, tip $7.21 on a $32.79 bill? I ask because my wife does this and it drives me crazy. Actually, she's a terrible tipper, so she'd likely only tip $3.21, but you get my point.

If things don't work out with your lady, let me know.

No, but I always tip in whole dollar amounts. If the bill is $37, I'll tip $8 and not $7.50.

I probably should have mentioned that this question is in regards of using a credit card, not cash. Of course, I'd likely just leave $40 if I'm paying cash, but if I'm using my CC, I'd likely tip $8.

Me too, although I will tend to go up on a tip because of this.

Just a service announcement, but topping off can cause issues with some cars. It only happened to me once so now I don't top off. My previous car was a 2003 Explorer and the check engine light came on after filling up. The dealership told me it was the fuel sensor (I'll be honest I don't recall anymore it's exact function) and he said it could clear itself but if it didn't it would have to be replaced. It did, but I don't top off anymore.

I used to round it to the nearest dollar before that to top it off, now just let it stop where it stops.

This dumb ### thread made me think of this.

My thing is why is the price of gas such a big deal to the avg person? If you want to argue on a macro sense why it's $3 and not $1 anymore that's one thing but why drive 5-10 min out of the way to go to a place that's .10 cheaper? Is $1.30-$1.60 really worth driving across town and wasting time on?

People pay up to $4 a gallon for sugar water but freak out when gas is up $.25 a gallon and a lot more crap needs to happen to make gasoline then Pepsi.

For a total of 10 minutes, a dime per gallon is probably worthwhile. But really I just try to go to the cheapest gas station on my route.
