Hell yes.

Is that hell yes, you would or hell yes, you wouldn't?

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?

6$ in the aviation business is like a QM effect in the world of
Newtonian Mechanics.

Hee-hee! That's a beauty! Request permission to use it on another
ng. I'll trade you "In the big picture, it's a few pixels."

And, it sounds like a bad reason to take a risk. But, anyone who
plans reserves in hours is not in the fuel exhaustion risk category
should be entitled to *anything* that six dollars might buy.
