The article proves that you could better spend your time going
to a cheaper grocery store, rather than hunting for the cheapest
gas. However, it seems to me that complaints about gas prices
are not regarding the relative prices between gas stations, but
rather the inflation of gas prices as a whole. No matter how
much time I spend looking for the cheapest grocery store and the
best discounts, if gas prices go up then I spend more on gas
than I did before. A rise in gas prices of 10% means I have (0.1
* money spent on gas) less to spend on other things.  So if you
devote your time to finding the cheapest gas station and you
complain that it takes you too great an effort to find a cheaper
one, then yes, please stop doing that and go find a cheaper
grocery store inst
