Are those the glasses that get lighter & darker by themselves?

Diesel here at the local station is 4.09 but that was last week. Before that it was 4.19 i was a happy camper. Still have half a tank and i drive maybe twice a week.

Anyway hey guys, hows everyone doing. I never updated you on my new truck. Got it home, emissions tested, registered. Plates have been on for about 2 weeks. One thing i can say is my town needs better roads. Broke the muffler end off the first week of driving, need a new muffler and my tail pipe reattached. Next week lost the tail pipe hanger (the shop didn't replace it). After that the muffler clamp came off, Kinda wish i romped on it a bit before i fixed it but ah well. Changed the oil and used a powerstroke oil, the idi likes to drink its now 11quart oil capacity. Going to swap the coolant out this week to fleetcharge. Have 4 gallons undiluted at home already. I have put about 350 miles on it since i got it. Have already hauled tons of stuff with it. Now everyone in the house wants to use it. Offered to tow my friends car that needs fixed we will see how that goes... he just needs to rent a tow dolly and pay for my fuel costs.
