I got the lawn mowed and went out to pick up a auto repair manual that had been left at a friends house. First outing for my beast this year. Started with a 1/4 tank and everytime I pushed the loud pedal the needle on the meter fell downwards and didn't come back even a little. I got stuck in in traffic during the power outage in Lakewood. I was in an allmost continous line of traffic from one nonworking traffic light to the next. The first operating light at S74th and Lakwood drive, I went through the intersection and merged into the right lane to make a right hand turn in a few blocks only to find I had merged into a funeral proscession. Wish I had been with you instead.
They forcast the weather. Does anyone forcast gasoline prices going up or down even a few cents? I'd like to be the guy that buys a tank full just before it goes up. A four cent hike cost me a buck. Usually I'm the guy that buys a tank full in the morning and then the pump price goes down that afternoon.
