Do you "even out/round off" the amount of gas you pump, when using a credit/debit card?

LOL. My mom does it. I just tell her to fill it all the way up, but she says it might overflow or something, so she rounds off the price.

Old habits die hard. I doubt many in the under-30 crowd still do this.

i just usually do $20 each fillup.

gives me give or take 1/2 my tank from the "gas light"
No need to carry extra gas, when you can just fill up the 2nd time.
Extra weight = no no :p

I'll pose the question again.

Are you retarded?

The gas most likely won't get any cheaper. What a waste of time and resources.

i'm highly skilled at the art of rounding off. i can usually hit 20.00 on the mark without stopping short and doing tiny little mini-squeezes.

Umm ya? Are you retarded for asking...I feel I must explain one of the many situations where someone would round the number, so here goes:

Dad: Fill up the 20 $ for me on your visa and Ill pay you later.
Me: Ok

A day or two pass

Dad: Here's 20$ for the gas you put in.
Me: K

I do round it off to nearest non-penny amount (like $23.30 or $23.35 rather than $23.32) and really have no good reason for doing that other than habit.

I do it...I've always done it; I think it's because I remembered my parents do it when I was a kid...who knows...just seems weird to leave the pump with a $25.72 for the bill...I'll go $25.75.

I don't. I care more about the gallons as I reeset my trip meter every fill up. Makes it weasy to see ifthere are any engine problems.

He will get better gas milage because of the lost weight. Furthermore he didnt say anything about waiting for gas prices to drop, he was talking about weight.

I read in my car manual that you are not supposed to "round off" your gas tank

Somethin about the right mixture of gas and air for the engine

anyway, I don't

you must go insane from caring about little things that other ppl do. :roll:

I'm sure the gas I save from not carrying extra weight offsets the gas price going up.
