I'm not even seeing how it's a bad tactic collectively. The only alt to buying cheaper gas now would be more expensive gas later that would be true for an individual, entire, family or your neighbors. It's mathematics.
I already pointed that you should be using less fuel regardless of Trump's illegal war with Iran or when gas prices where cheaper. That's strategy not mutually exclusive to tipping off, but independent and complimentary to topping off
You wouldn't be spending all your time refilling you'd just detour to the gas station once a day on your commute because gas prices stay the same for an entire day. I should say fuel up once a day right before you park your car for the day
