If it's just that you think it's better to pay $30 twice than $60 once, well, that's just crazy talk. Yeah, if it’s a benchmark to give you time to shop around, that makes total sense.

I think I'll buy some." If you have a strict rule of <em>never</em> letting the tank go below 1/2, though, you'll get the desperate "Oh my god, I have to buy gas RIGHT NOW at $3.21/gallon or else I will go BELOW HALF A TANK!" I think gas here went up by 11 cents yesterday during the time I was at work.
