"Riddle at the pump"
Riddle at the pump
Life: Annapolis resident Mike Reinhard figured that regular unleaded gasoline was cheaper, so he pumped the 87-octane formula into his Jaguar. The Internet consultant already had downgraded from premium to midgrade gasoline before making the shift to regular unleaded. http://www.washtimes.com/metro/20040...2810-5474r.htm |

Even assuming he uses 1000 gallons of gas a year he's saving a whopping $200 a year which is probably less than a Jag's floormats and certainly less than the extra insurance. Plus if his Jag's timing gets retarded enough the next sloppy fool with a good 4 cyl might toast him from a red light and he'll have no clue why. If it was afternoon my idiot alarm would have probably gone off when I saw "Internet Consultant". I wonder if he tells his clients to use popup ads. If only there was some kind of "Math and Common Sense" course everyone had to take while young. Dave |
