i'm not sure how it is everywhere else, but in sydney, petrol is seen as such a grudge buy.
today driving to work, 2 petrol stations clearly visible to oncoming drivers. One is 3 cents a litre cheaper than the other.
result, the cheaper one is ridiculously stacked with cars, whilst the other one is empty. So 3 cents a litre, 50 L car, $1.50 saving. For this $1.50 people will happily queue an extra 10-15mins.
People don't seem to value their time, or underestimate the worth of their time. it makes me think teh general population is short sighted, and find it hard to see longer effects of their invesments. Saving $1.50, losing 15 mins, is only profitable if you're earning like 6 bucks an hour.
Oh and before i forget, this is a poker blog. So for my own reference, i'm running with a sad AF of 2. aiming to fix this in the next month.

True but if you view it from the other perspective its slightly different.
Your probably not taking time out of working/earning to sit for 10-15 minutes queueing, you'd probably just be watching tv or something like that. So sitting in your car for an extra few minutes everytime you get petrol is going to save you like $500++ over a the course of a few years!
Btw i dont drive im just offering another perspective of things cos im boreeeeeeed |
