Road Trip / Gas (economics) question
I have about a 4-5 hr drive back home from school coming up in a few weeks. The trip usually takes about a tank. Since gas prices are hitting record highs, should I fill up now or just before I leave? ( I dont drive very much, so I wouldnt really need more till the date I go) The national average is about 3.51, I believe its 3.15ish here.
Just wondering, what do you guys think?

i'd look at it this way....filling up either time u cold possibly pay more then you would of had to. You hav the little extra cash now or think you will then? That should be the decider.
