On any given day, the pesky neighbors can tell you the price of a gallon of gas within a 3 county radius. To the 10th of a gallon. It’s likely they can tell you how much a gallon of gas is in other states as well on most days. If you travel with them, they constantly scan the price signs at every station visible from the road traveled, and make mention of comparisons along the entire route. It doesn’t matter if they are buying the gas or are along for the ride. They focus on the exact amount.
Me? It’s all about the bottom line. How much money it takes to fill up the tank — that’s the only way I know when gas prices have raised. It’s not that I’m disinterested or don’t care. I do! I just don’t care how much gas is when I don’t need gas. My focus is on the immediate.
I’m certainly not trying to indicate my way is the right way and those peskies are wrong. It’s just a simple fact that our focus is different. So… do you tend to focus on details or on the big picture?
