It's not worth it unless you're driving a shitload of miles. My wife used to be all over gas prices (prolly learned it from her dad) until one day I pointed this out.
This.
In my ICE ride, a nickle or a dime, or even more cheaper isn't going to make enough of a difference. I usually need 10-12 gallons when I fill, which is usually only a couple times per month. It's really not worth spending any time going out of my way.
Now, when gas was 3.75-4.50 per gallon and it cost $80+ to fill my POS 10mpg SUV, yeah then it mattered.
I know this guy who would go ten miles out of his way to save a nickle back in the 80's when gas was in the neighborhood of a dollar a gallon.
