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?

You mean you had the same price per gallon for two separate fill-ups?

Well, yes, that, too ... but it was more that I ended up with the same gallons on back-to-back fillups. I'm not surprised at having the same price/gallon for 2 fillups ... just that I hit the same gallon amount.... Guess I shoulda made that a bit clearer
