Has this ever happened to you?

Saturday afternoon, I stopped to get gas before I left town for Freeport IL to see some friends for dinner. The gallons (after almost a week of driving) was 7.729 for $17.00. On the way back home late Saturday night, I thought about getting gas, but decided I'd just get gas today (Sunday) after I did some running around.

So, today, I stopped at Walmart, stopped at a no-touch car wash to get the '87 MC LS washed, drove a bit to help dry it off a bit more, then stopped for gas. After I got back home and started inputting the figures into my "gas book", I was stunned to discover that the gallons and dollar amount were exactly the same as yesterday's ... 7.729 gallons for $17.00. And, no, I didn't stop it at $17 on purpose. As much as I keep track of facts and figures, I have never remembered what the dollar amount and gallons were from fill up to fill up, regardless of the time between fillups. Gas mileage was NOT the same, of course, since Sunday's fill-up came after a road trip of sorts (lots of highway driving) and the previous fill-up came after a week (rather, "mini" week) of driving back'n'forth to work....

Anyone else happen to get the same amount of gallons and dollar amount on back-to-back fill-ups?

LOL! Maybe.....

No exactly the same like that but close...

Or the numbers are funny... you know 6.66 gallons or the dollar

amount in the Super 88 is $19.64 or some other "coincidence."

Hmm...don't know.I don't track the gallons, just the $ amount in Quicken.

He he he...those are fun to spot, too .

Nothing weird, but it only cost me $22.50 to fill the Cobalt with 93 octane the other day. I was quite happy and impressed.

How big are Cobalt's tanks?

It cost me $41 to fill up the GTO (16.8 gallons, meaning only 1.2 gallons left). Of course the average mileage was 12.4MPG, and then I did about 1 1/2 driving at 75-80MPH and only got 19MPG

Oh, how I love to stomp on the throttle and let her loose

Along similar numerology lines: on 6/6/06 my wife bought three items in the supermarket that cost $6.66.

I've been tracking my fill-ups for over 10 years and have not had a back-to-back identical gas stop that I recall.

It's nice to see I am not the only car nerd that calculates

MPG/$/milage as methodically as this.

Just the other day I found a small manilla envelpe from

my 1986 Caddy (remember the silver F.B.?) with every

single receipt and piece of paperwork associated with

that car. The MPG math was done by me freehand on the

back. That car averaged exactly 18.1mpg in the summer

of 2005. Those Olds 307s are a bit too little for a car of

that massive weight.
