If it wasn't for Credit Cards think of the armed robberies that would occur as people would be carrying large amounts of cash to buy gas! Would be like the Old West with a Shotgun Rider to keep the Coach driver from getting his strong box robbed!

We’ve listened to this none sense long enough. You guys might think you can you can play us but you can’t play Shaq. Let him explain how to fill your car, tell him that he’s wasting time.

I think only guys with 8 foot beds and leaking blue ovals put in that much gas. And top off the oval fluid.

I think a lot of people only drive around town on short 10 mile trips... Maybe getting 100 miles a week or less.  At 15-20 MPG they are using 6 gallons.... $25. a week ........... might be all they can afford on a "weekly" basis.

Personally, i am retired and i probably dont drive HALF that much in a week...  I might keep $50-60. in the tank......... put some in every 3 weeks.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

It's just the way I do things.  Even as a kid, if I needed gas I filled up.  From 1989 - 90, I lived in Dayton, OH.  Lived about 5 miles from work.  Drove until I needed gas, then filled up. Then moved to Athens, OH, lived about 3 miles from work, drove until I filled up.  Moved back to MI.  The first year I was 35 miles from work, the next 9 I was 6 miles from work, now 23.  I drive until I need gas, then fill up.  Only real exception is if I'm taking a trip, I'll top off before I leave.  I rarely drink pop or eat snacks, so what's the point of stopping more than I need to?  I'm the opposite of Shaq math, it's going to cost the same in the end anyway.  To each there own.

Wait are you trying to say Shaq is wrong if it costs $80 to fill your tank and if you put $20 in when your tank is half full it’s not full again.

I haven’t watched NBA since the magic bird Jordan days but I do have to watch YouTube clips of Shaq and Barkely on TNT. It is better entertainment than any sports game.


I unfortunately drive gm pickups so since 2012 their junk air vents that plug with dirt after 20k on dirt roads won’t let you fill fuel so I very seldom leave with a full tank. I just fill tell I’m so pizzed off that I quit filling and hopefully I got at least 3/4 ful. Shaq would tell me gm is saving me money.
