What app do you use for gas prices, how much of a swing is there between all the stations in your area, and how much do you save on average per year by price-shopping?Slow down... breathe.
I plan ahead. If I know the cost of gas in my area then I can shop around for the best deal. Different gas stations have different prices. I don't wait until I am on empty then run to whatever gas station is closest and just accept their price because I didn't plan ahead. Because I planned ahead I now have extra monies. I do the same thing with car parts, car audio gear, food or whatever I elect to purchase. There is nothing wrong with budgeting even if you make more money than another person. It's smart finances. My extra goes into my savings. That is there for emergencies, rainy days, spurt of the moment purchases and so on. That is how it "saves me money."
I just Googled "gas prices near me" and got linked to Gas Buddy, which is showing every station in my city and a neighbor city (160,000 population) at the same price.
