Grasping at Straws

I'm a little superstitious.
I think that there are signs everywhere, I just don't know how to read them.

I was driving to work today and noticed that the car I was driving (rental) was getting exactly 26.2 miles to the gallon.
There were 2 gas stations on my route. Can anyone guess which?
If you said, "Marathon," give yourself a gold star.

Maybe this is a sign of hope.
Maybe I'm being tormented.
Maybe I just read too much into things.
