Gas prices suck. Yes. It sucks not only because it is over 4 dollars a gallon nowadays, but it sucks because the engine in my car requires 91 octane, the most expensive grade of gas.
Today I was shocked and happy though. I had to fill up on the way back home from work. My trip meter was at 220 miles. My tank was at a little below half. Usually, this would be at 160 miles on the tank. I pulled into the cheapest decent station that I normally go to. Filled it up while I was cleaning the windows. Not even a minute, the spout stopper clicked. The meter on the station read 5.483 gallons @ $4.249 gallon.
In my mind..i was like WTF??!!?? Full already? Finished up the windows and finalized the transaction, I sat in the car calculating my MPG.
220 Miles / 5.483 Gallons = 40.124 MPG. Holy SHIT! 40 miles to the gallon??!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. At that moment I wanted to flip off all the Toyota Prius and Hybrid cars at the station. Screw youuuuuu, I got 40 miles per gallon while still having some dignity with horsepower and torque. HAHAHAHA.
In reality, I left the gas station with a huge grin on my face because this freak MPG happens once in a blue moon.
