    The cheapest here is $4.699/gal unless you have some sort of discount.

    I have two trips to Denver in the next two weekends. That will be about 1,400 miles of driving right there.

    Returning home from a 500 mi round trip:
    • Dodge Charger - made a lot of racket so I kick FSD off (it doesn’t care) and I followed him close (trivial in my bottom trim Tesla.) Smiling all the time, he was burning quarters to my nickels.
    • Rolling coal pickup - again burning quarters to my nickels and stinking up everyone on the road.
    One side effect of FSD is you can’t tease it into wasting kWh. But I sometimes take a secret pleasure to help the stupid pursue their folly: Schadenfreude.
