I was really pushing my luck today.  I just got a Texaco gas credit card that gives me a 25 cent discount for every gallon of Texaco gas that I buy for the first three months that I have the card.  Some of the Texaco gas stations are higher than the rest of the pack; some are running at a dead heat.  Today I had to run some errands and I knew that I was going to need to buy gas.  I also knew that I’d be driving past a Texaco but not sure what their price was going to be like, compared to the rest.  On my way into town I saw their price was pretty good, so I decided that I’d fill up on the way home unless I drove past a station with a better price.  Well, there WERE some that were 4 cents cheaper, but I wouldn’t get that discount from the Texaco gas card.  So I just drove right past them.  Well, let me tell you that by the time I reached that Texaco on the return trip I only had one gallon of gas left in the tank!  Now THAT is cutting it close!
