Title: Getting Gas
Post by: klaviator on June 02, 2016, 04:33:12 PM

One of the things I hate doing is pulling in to a gas station just to get $1.43 of gas or some trivial amount like that.

I'm sure a lot of SUV drivers out there wish they had problems like mine (http://advrider.com/styles/advrider_smilies/blbl.gif)

So this is how I get around that "problem".

I head to the nearest gas station and get enough gas to feed my Kymco and my lawn mower for a few weeks.

Yes that is on the route to the nearest gas station from my house. (http://advrider.com/styles/advrider_smilies/nod.gif)

The retail gas stations here have a solution for your feelings. They raised the price of one Litre of fuel 10 cents or about 40 cents per gallon over night. Now you can put in $2.50 and not feel guilty.

I do exactly the same thing, klav. I always fill a 5-gallon container and just fill the scoots from that.

Serve myself only. Have to flow very slowly to avoid the bubble up at the end and an overflow. Not live in OR thankfully.
