YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE
AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

One thing I think is funny...is how my (any others?) mind set has changed. Before, I filled up because I "knew" the price was going to be higher tomorrow...Now, I usually only get $20 worth because I figure the price will drop in a day or two!

I seem to fill up all the time probably 2 or 3 times a week.  I only let it run about 1/2 a tank though before i fill.

Anybody checked on what this has done to propane costs?  It was getting close to the upper end of $3 and they were blaming the horribly high cost on fuel prices.  I haven't had to get propane since the price of gas started to fall, but I'll need to get some after payday so I guess I'll find out.

Somewhat related, but the cost of my oil has yet to be revised by Valvoline. My guess is that they are going to hang on to their increases as long as they can to make up for the short-fall they had when the prices started to rise. The only cost that has been revised/eliminated is the surcharge.

This actually pisses me off since I have lost the reason with my customers, can't say it's because of the cost of oil anymore.

No not quite.   He will impose a windfall profit tax on the Oil companies.  Then give the money back in the form of check to all the poor people who don't even have cars.

windfall profit tax

There are hardly any words that get me angrier than those!!! Who the @!##&^! gets to say what too much profit is? (Kinda like the "Fairness Doctrine")
