Saw a fellow this afternoon, filling up his RV at the local gas station, with a boat on a trailer following. I can just imagine the dedication to his vacation he must have, to be paying (at that station) $3.01 per gallon for regular.
One of my cow-orkers today referred to the 89-octane fuel as “high test” gas. I offered to help him knead the yellow coloring into his oleo if his arthritic senior citizen hands could use the break. So he said he wasn’t being anachronistic – it’s a Californian thing. “Hey, I am from California, I think I’d know, buddy.”
