Liquids are measured in gallons or liters. Liquids are not measured in dollars.
On a recent trip through several states, my lowest price for gas was $2.56, and my highest price was $2.99. That's more than a $4 difference for a typical "tank" of gas (which can also vary depending on how far down I let it get before filling). Since the price changes from place to place and over time in the same location, it should never be used as a measure of quantity.
Get yourself a mileage app for your phone and start tracking your MPG using MATH, actual miles driven divided by actual fuel used in gallons or liters. That's the only way you actually know you have an issue. The variation in cost you described was probably caused by other factors.
Don't they teach this in high school any more?
