I hate having to fill up the car with gas. Gas stations don't scare me or anything like that. It is just that I hate the final result of the fill up. The price. I usually only fill the car half way. Now, sometimes this is because of time and children. I hate standing there (as we are in a self serve area), and hearing the kids getting restless in the backseat. Seat belts usually come off, and kids start exploring the car. Or I am usually on my way somewhere, and probably running late as it is. It's a time saver. And don't get me started about the weather. I refuse to stand in the cold for one second longer than I have to. So, if I have half a tank, meh, good enough. It will last me for a few days.
Like I said, the big reason why I hate filling up the car is 'cause I don't want to see the final price at the end. I know this is silly. It is no different than doing twice the amount of work and spending the same...I get that. I am not in denial here. It must be psychological or something. I bet a lot of people do this...right?!
I also have a tendency to gasp when we drive by gas stations, thus causing the driver, usually my husband to swerve slightly. I gasp at the price per liter...I gasp because the gas station two blocks away was three cents cheaper. Or I gasp because I actually did fill up the tank the other day and the price has come down! I can never win with gas prices.
