I don't care if ten thousand people buy regular, than one guy buys premium. ONLY ONE guy gets a little premium with his regular, no one else untill the ONE sap gets a little regular with his premium!

I won't worry about the 1/3 gallon




Well, I think it's more than that. When I filled up my truck yesterday, I noticed that the hose was anchored several feet above the pump on a metal framework, and then routed all the way back down into the cabinet. It was at least 10 feet long, maybe more. That's probably approaching a gallon of stored fuel.

We could always pump 1 gallon into another car before we fill up ours.
Then we would look like wackos when we try to get them to pay for the 1 gallon of fuel.
OR we could wait around until someone gets the good stuff and come in behind them to get ours.

For the desperate you could put in about 3 ounces of kerosene to bring up the flash point.

I did this on a rattling Harley and it does work.

Just stick to pumps with 3 hoses. No worries.
