Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

fill up on gas every chance you get because gas prices will only go up. (sh.itjust.works)

backstory is that i try to fill up my tank more when gas prices are at a low and less as prices go up to make my long term average cost per gallon lower.

now given current events, and empirical reality, gas has only been going up and will continue to go up. we could assume different curves(only constraint being that price per gallon goes up as time goes forward), but if you buy your gas now you will spend less money then you have if you bought it tomorrow, day after, or week down the road. my estimate is that it will be month minimum before it gets cheaper.

now that I have put this out there into the world you should fill up asap, I already filled up before making this post and other people will come up with this idea independently of me.

It actually wouldn't. Because you'd because when gas prices get too much for you to afford you'll only have a partial tank instead of near full

But you'll have a full tank worth of dollars in your pocket.

Man this is desperation on your end. The idea of a car is that you use it to drive to work so buying gas is a necessity and more important than hording cash
