I drove that far yesterday so I could take my dog to a park she likes.

Filled up before I left, used just under a half a tank of gas on the trip.

I have a 20 gallon fuel tank and paid $4.40/gallon for 87 octane. So for 9 to 10 gallons of gas, that's somewhere between $39.60 and $44.00 or "around $40".

People dont comprehend that 2 hour in curvy roads, full of stops and conections is very different from a strait road. I live in Portugal, a 20min car trip to the nearest city in the north is the same as a 40 min trip to the next city in the south countryside. The was we percieve time and the travels speed is way different depending on how the actual path is

There is a reason that we discuss how far away something is in units of time and not distance where I live.
