Portuguese term

deslocamento / deslocar (no contexto)

Portuguese to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Entre outros valores, se um consumidor abastecesse seu automóvel de 10 a 25 litros, com um rendimento de 7,5 km por litro, este estaria disposto a se deslocar entre 1,9 a 4,7 km em busca de um posto concorrente, que praticasse preço inferior ao do suposto monopolista, que compensasse, em termos financeiros, seu deslocamento.

make a detour

Alternative. Common use being 'make a {distance} detour' See following for use:

If you need to make a five-mile detour to save 10¢/gallon...you've spent $1.05 (and time) for the privilege of saving $1.30 on the 13 gallons you've put in your tank.

One advantage I didn't expect is not having to make a detour, then wait up to 1/2 hour in a long line at Costco to fill gas once a week.
Yes, I can arrange to go during a less busy time, but it would mean a special trip only to gas up - less time in line, but I waste time driving to the pump and back.

Fixed costs like tires, insurance, car washes, etc are not included because they will not change as a result of an extra 4 Km detour to get cheaper gas. The implication that I will add an extra quarter or dollar to the cost of my car for this year just because I have driven 4 addition kilometres is just plain wrong. At the end of the year the money out of my pocket only goes up by $0.21, the cost of 1/4 litre of gas.
