i think the gas gods are ripping me off
« on: May 12, 2008, 02:24:33 PM »
...or maybe I'm just bad at math?

I pre-paid in cash for my gas today, so I had exactly $10 worth of gas. Regular unleaded was 3.75 a gallon. So why did I only end up with 2.66 gallons of gas? Help me understand, EB!

Also, keep in mind that gas prices at pumps are not in whole cents, but the price posted  + nine tenths of a cent per gallon. This was a sort of holdover from the sub-dollar per gallon prices in the  US.

2.66*3.759 = 9.99894

Go easy on yourself.  If you beat your face ugly (like seriously uggerz) then Ecro won't be with you anymore and I won't be able to get his hair.

Stick to the plan. :shh
