Just filled up my truck today at 1.02 litre. 1 litre is equal to 3.78 US gallons. so..... $3.86 CND gallon.

Nice. It shows $2.80 for near me. I paid $2.78 for 87 at Costco last night which totalled out to $60.25. I think that may be the jackpot, but I'd have to check the notebook. I normally don't let it get that low, but a buddy and I weren't counting on having to drive all over town the other night when the restaurants were busy.

Do the pumps near you shut off automatically at a certain $$ amount? Around here, most of them shut off at around $75. It is a company thing with the gas stations. I have tried to politely explain that with the price of gas at $3, it does not take much to get to $75 and sometimes a truck just isn't full at that level. They explain to me that it is set by the "higher ups" and they can't change the limit.

 

Another little bit of fun information, if you do use pay at the pump with a credit card, get shut off at $75, then use the same card again at the same pump, most times, your card will be denied! The clerk had no reason as to why, so I called my credit card company. They said that they do that because it is odd that a purchase for that amount would go thru and then the exact same request at the exact same location imediately following looks like a possible stolen card, so they deny the swipe!

 

At least, that is what my Visa company told me!

 

SO, if you have to swipe twice to get full, bring two cards!!!

Count your blessings...Most of the pumps here will only let you put $50 worth of gas in.

 

Which is why I fill up with 1/2 tank.

Yeah, but you can't use the same card twice in a row, it will be denied.

 

 

 

 

$50.00 limit here too, in some places. But I can use the same card again right away at least. Yesterday I filled up two trucks, and my machines, and am now $187.00 poorer.

 

My customers are gonna feel this, trust me.

$2.99 In Houghton Mi.

 

Also to comment on the auto shut off I ususally find it at 50 or 75 bucks. Most places by me though if you are willing to select pay inside and walk in to pay it will not turn off automatically, only when paying at the pump. I will go fill up 15 gallons in the truck and 75 gallons in dry docks for the boats and it will be around 150 bucks, but it will not turn off on me if I go inside.

Up in Maine (Augusta Area) its about 2.92/87. We are usually under the national avg by a few 0.01 W/ shut off at privately owned stations at 50.00- 75.00 or Pre pay only. People up around this area have been taking off with a full tank quite often.. And us who do pay are stuck with the inconvenience of guessing how much its going to be to fill the ol beast

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
