LOL.. I'm done after this.

Your math is what most people would describe as fuzzy. Very few people idle 2 hours per tank. If they do it is in stop and go traffic where they wouldn't even get 7 seconds to stop. Yet you use that as your baseline of breaking even.. 1,333 gallons my ass.

Here's some math

0.25 gallons/1 hr = 32 oz/3600 s = 0.06 oz/ 7 s

2.25 dollars/ 1 gallon = 2.25 dollars / 128 oz = 0.001 dollars / 0.06 oz

1/10th of a penny saved every 7 seconds of idling.

You are the one that chooses to ignore the simple math.
