Pet Peeve: The Gas in Your Tank

Another pet peeve of mine is the amount of gas in your car is directly (and inversely) proportional to the distance you have to drive and the amount of extra time you have. If you have plenty of time and are traveling nearby, your tank will be full. If you are running late and need to travel a great distance, you will find your tank near empty.

An add-on to this pet peeve is special to Israel where many gas stations give out free newspapers on Friday morning. In this case, you often find that you don't care about getting the free newspaper - you just need to go somewhere...and of course, everyone else DOES care about the free newspaper and so all tend to want to get gas at the same time and at the same location.
