    Took the Mini to meet my Daughter for lunch. While I was out I topped the tank up with ethanol-free 93 octane for $3.04 gallon and my Daughter topped off the Suburban with regular @ $1.94 a gallon. Days like today I wish I could run regular.

    Ethanol free 93 is about 40c more
    per gallon than 93 octane Shell, Mobil,
    etc. around here. There are only two
    stations in my county that have it, too.

    Wow, that was a BIG Mini dealership too.....

    I picked mine up tonight from the MINI dealer, $800 poorer... turns out it was the water pump...spendy little bastard! But I just didn't have time to DIY it before I leave for Colorado. They charged me $24 for new antifreeze, and I had just changed it the night before!

    Had a couple of no shows at work
    yesterday, so went outside with gloves
    and wet paper towels and wiped two or
    three months worth of brake dust off my
    wheels.

    I have the Shell rewards card too. I thought there was a Shell station that is much cheaper than the rest of the area. The normal job discounted price of Shell 93 here is $3.24

    When you use a foam gun don't you still have to wipe down the car? The other thing I was wondering about is does the hot sun dry the foam?

    Gassed up my wife's S today at $3.05 per gallon. She only needed 6.5 gallons, but, starting Monday July 1st, there will be an additional 10.5 cent tax per gallon, which REALLY SUCKS!
