Value of my time spent driving to station & putting gas in the tank is greater than any price savings. Those are mostly illusion: the price goes up, the price goes down. Unless you can predict the medium-term price in advance, you don't really gain anything.

Unless, of course, you can do as I did in the last $4/gal spike, and miss it entirely. But for that it helps if you have an Insight or other car that'll go 700+ miles on a full tank.
