Problem: I watched the gas price yesterday at the Pilot where I normally get my gas drop 16 cents in the span of about 8 hours . When I went to school it was $ 4.05 a gallon , when I came home it was $ 3.89 . I had a quarter of a tank left , so I figured I 'd get gas in order to a ) not have to fill up the entire tank ( seriously , and 18.5 gallon tank in the car kind of sucks ) , and 2 ) not rush like a jerk this morning ( turned out to be smart ) .
