Need to work but

is pretty tempting ... so close to 20K

Yah just stop the pump when the auto dispense disengages.

Topping off could result in gas spilling out.

JARblue · 11-16-2015, 07:54 AM

Thankfully, I am painus free

kenchan · 11-16-2015, 07:55 AM

I'm sure leon's a pro so he knows how much more he can get in.

JARblue · 11-16-2015, 07:55 AM

But now I'm thinking curry for lunch ... definitely will change that

Different cars are different. Every gas tank I encountered in my Explorer Sport auto-stopped like 5 gallons short of full. It was weird.

thinking about going to get a red bull, need the energyz for today

job interview today after work. still debating if i should take it or not. it's more money but it's a 80 mile round trip vs my 50 mile round trip now 0.o

Damn bro! i know that feeling about the emails @ work

BTW you have to think if the extra money worth it cause you know you have to spend in more gas plus the traffic and wake up early...

Every pump around here cuts off wicked early. I've driven both cars down way past 0. The Z ALWAYS stops at 17.5 and the Civic which is 13 gallons stops at 10.5. I have never had any spillover from pumping an extra gallon.

Then again, i live in an area where gas stations are thieves and even when you stop pumping, the price rises slowly every few seconds per cent. I've got 2 stations left in my city that don't do that crap. And yes, I've reported the stations multiple times for illegal price gouging.

work emails are never fun lol

yup i was thinking about that with gas, tires, etc. today i'll see if i can work from home at least twice a week or something. i'd still be waking up around the same time. the work hours are 7am - 3pm. so i would avoid some of the traffic.

Davey · 11-16-2015, 08:12 AM

Hola.

It's Monday.

I'm at work.

It can only get better from here...
