I already had 3 hours fuel aboard

If there's *no* chance of weather being a factor, then that's more
than reasonable.

I might add 10 gallons if my alternate required it, but three hours'
fuel is normally plenty of IFR reserve for a one hour trip. No way I'd
top off.

On top of that, fuel is 20c/gal. cheaper
at Dothan, so I saved $6 by filling up there.

I assume this is a joke...

Of course not. Why would you think so?
