They often put those whimpy chains on them here! And the cameras. I may have to break down and buy one.
We have 3 major gas stations out here and a few small ones that are not popular. Country Fair = CitGo brand and I call it S**tGo, coz it is garbage gas Kwik Fill, not much better BP, great quality gas, but 3-4 cents a gallon more Keystone, 50/50 mix of gas and water, crap is so bad it makes my lawnmower run like cut out and backfire. Shell, Never bought their gas, they are by the highway and 30 cents more a gallon then 1 mile down the road away from the highway. Next time I go to a gas station to fill up and they have dirty washer fluid or no fluid, I am gonna take that squeegee like Steve did. They never have paper towels, so I might go in their bathroom and take the roll of TP and set it on the dispenser at the pumps. Maybe they will get the hint then. I tell everyone of them when I pay that they are out of towels, next time I fill up, there are none and the cobwebs in the dispenser shows that they never refilled them. Camera or not, I could care less!
If they won't take the time to put fluid in the basin, they probably won't notice it missing, either. eh, I guess that sounds bad, but damn, the lack of service really chaps me. Up until a few years back, the Shell stations here had 93 octane no alcohol premium while the others were 91-92. Now they all seem to be 92 octane E10. Since the Bush Administration, I've been partial to Shell since they are Dutch owned. As for the original thread topic, I came across this in my net wanderings:
That's interesting. Out on the Left Coast, there are very few BP stations, but the BP gas is mostly sold at ARCO stations. They are CHEAPER that the mainstream players, mostly because they don't accept credit cards - only debit cards or their own ARCO card. I haven't had any problem with their gas. Cheaper usually by around 8 cents / gal.
Interresting, Krash. We have some BP stations here in the North West at full prices. We still have discount price ARCO stations, but I gave up on them years ago. Too many problems with deposit fouling on my plugs.
Round here all the gas is basically the same... Quality and price wise. Quality sucks, and price sucks. We have 93 octane here, but e10. Sunoco used to have 95 octane hightest years ago. Then it went to 94, then it went to e10 93 about 4 years ago which is no different than any other station out here. Gas prices still suck. My wagon gets about 5-7mpg in town, and 10-12 on the highway and I rarely go on the highway. So it sits alot; with high school $ and the gas prices, I can't afford to drive it.
Everyone lets get all people together bring some Dry Pinto beans with enough people we can produce enough gas to drive Congress and The President out of Washington.
I've been practicing but so far I've only been driven from the bedroom to the couch! Wimmins got no sense of humor! :banana:
One Easter many moons ago my wife made some Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and I ate about 2 dozen along with boiled eggs all day. Needless to say the wife crawled into bed then a Let a big one rip and covered her head up. All I can say it was a long cold night she took all the covers while I was rolling with laughter
The old "throw the covers over her head trick"! AHH YES! Trouble is, after 42 yrs she isn't shy about paying me back the same way. Did I just say that with my outloud voice? She is such a sweet old lady too!
They call that a Dutch Oven. I tried it once and my little wife gave me one of her martial arts hops to the chest and about stopped my heart. I was sore for hours, could hardly breathe and thought I was gonna die. The next day showed the darkest purple bruise I have ever seen right over my heart. She said I was lucky, a little harder hit and she could have made my heart explode and if I ever tried that again, she would put that little extra force into it. Well, I have never cooked her a pot of baked beans in the old Dutch Oven again. I swear it is still tender in that spot of my chest 4 years later.
Nah, she is pretty gentle, but she is deadly. She grew up in the Philippines and studied several variations of martial arts from the time she could walk. The kind of woman you want on your side, not against it. She is a riot and is really easy going She is one of them women that I can joke around with and call b**ch and she just replies with a-hole, or we joke around and say we hate eachother. That fart was just about the rottenest smelling thing I have ever had the pleasure to claim as my own. My eyes wattered bad from it and it lingered. If I could have moved, I would have gotten the heck out of the bedroom, but I was crippled for a good 10 minutes. LMAO
