Hmmm... It seems to me (and I admit I became an English major when I couldn't hack math) that gas prices are rising. So, if we assume that this is true, and not likely to change then if I buy $10 of gas today at say $3.80 (2.63 gal) and in two days the price is $3.82, when I put in the same $10 I'll get 2.61 gal. Wouldn't I be better off paying $20 initially and getting 5.26 gal, instead of the two payments and only getting 5.24 gal for the same cost?

Just ,my $.02
