I cherish my memories of spending two weeks on Kauai.
Were you born there or a transplant?

about 42 mpg. So far, I’ve not changed strategy. I fill up on payday and then get a couple gallons when needed towards the end of the work week.

...always buy the same dollar amount at every stop (for my mid-sized Impala, $25.00). That way, I buy more gallons at the lower prices, fewer at the higher prices (Yes, I know, I have to stop more often when it's high, but the math still works.) It's dollar-cost averaging applied to gasoline.
