My parents, ever the penny-pinchers, used to always get gas at a station and convenience store called My Mart, located on Kipling a little south of Quincy. This station always had the cheapest gas around (or was tied with another cheap station nearby). When I first got my car, I got gas there a lot too. Eventually I realized that their gas actually meant poorer mileage for my car, and I started getting mid-grade at some of the better-quality gas stations. Although it’s nothing about the owners of My Mart, who are very friendly and run an excellent ethnic food stand inside the convenience store, I can tell you that the difference in my gas mileage is nearly 100 miles per tank! It’s NOT always worth it to save a couple of pennies in gas.
