Cheapest place around here is Arco at @2.57 a gallon. Been dropping steadily though.

 

This is the sign at Walmart here today:

 

Hey, I might get 12-14 MPG too if the land where I lived was that flat

 

That's our hill. You should see Kansas, my home state. Ask Chris.

 

I can't go 5 miles without climbing a hill if I want to go east or west. I'm right in the middle of the valley.

 

I put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on mine, then went around and checked the air pressure in the tires (or is it tyres) before I head to Falling Waters WV tomorrow. Return on Sunday.

 

Fulton,Mississippi.

 

Kansas Sucks. 3, count them, THREE Fuel stops on Interstate 70 in the whole state.

 

Tell Matt Merry Christmas for me in Falling Waters.

 

I recognize Main Street in Podunk!

 

Yeppers! If the angle had been just a bit more to the right you could see our lunchtime hangout - Ron's.

 

Hmmm.... Colby, Hays and Salina are where I generally get gas; can't remember going any farther east (e.g. Topeka).

 

Gary, I will. I am going up there to pick up my Kleer Flo. His neighbor, whose garage it is in, is moving the end of the year so it has to come here.

 

What do you run in that? I have a parts washer designed for Simple Green and it'll heat the stuff up to 130 degrees, which does a wonderful job on parts. But it holds a min of 20 gallons and at 1:1 with water and $10/gallon for the right SG it gets pricey to refill.

 

Since I hadn't yet put the dashboard in my truck back together from last week's instrument cluster bulb replacement, I decided to take care of that little task.

But before I did, I decided to repaint the silver trim line around the radio, heater controls, and passenger A/C vents. While I had the leftmost passenger A/C vent out, I realized that the reason it never sat flush in its hole was that the A/C plenum (dealer A/C) had never been screwed down to the metal frame inside the dashboard. Given the slipshod quality of the A/C installation (the hole for the drain line to exit the cab looks like it was bored with a ball peen hammer) this came as no surprise...so I drilled a hole for the plenum bracket, screwed it down, and reinstalled the freshly painted vent.

Oh, and before reinstalling the dash pad I gave it a good cleaning, as well as a dose of Armor All. Now my dash is looking fresh and clean.
