My most expensive fillup in the Paseo was last night at a hair under $39. I love my small car.
I don't get it either. I know several people like this as well.
"I never let my car below 3/4 (or half, or whatever) tank anymore because I can't afford to fill it".

Tried explaining it to a couple of them, now I just give up. Apparently math and logic are trumped by personal emotion.
