Whatever it is, it is bound to be less than from what my Dad does.  That is,
to run it on the flat to the nearest service station.  All these self-serves
are proving to be a real pain in the ass for him.


As an aside, I have to wonder how all those people staring at us in disbelief
when I was a kid has effected me.  There we would be, tooling down the
boulevard with sparks and shredded rudder spewing from a wheelwell while my
old man searched out an opened gas station on a Sunday afternoon, completely
oblivious to the free entertainment he was providing for the drowsy citizens.
