I'm going to set a goal for myself to get to a pick n pull, when I build up more stamina in my legs, and spend the day looking for treasure. I used to go as often as I could when I was younger, and got some great deal on parts I wanted/needed. I miss it. Not only finding stuff I was looking for, but also finding interesting things from cars I've never worked on, or owned, but always liked.

One man's crash is another man's treasure. :wink: (abscate is wearing off on me :lol: )
Yeah that was me… 😂😂

Spent $59 for 12 gallons of gas, at $4.899/gal for 93 (that's with an $0.80/gal discount), to fill my tank up.

Mostly city driving, only getting 14.1mpg. Hopefully now that my misfire is gone it'll get better gas mileage. What's the average stop and go city mpg for an automatic B5244S?

Curious about milage too. My xc70 supposedly gets 720km on a full tank.

I spent $134 to fill my wife’s tank last week with regular. This is getting ridiculous…. MatthewsTeslaSite anyone ?

Much of my time during the job is spent hauling things up and down the stairs to the basement or in and out of the storage shed, or running back downstairs when I realize I need something else,or taking a break from standing out in the sun,or using flashlights or work lamps when it gets dark.

Canadian gas? I though only the US had high gas prices. Out in California, from what I've seen on the news, gas is close to $10/gal.

Ha ha ha … I think Musks’s vision of inhabiting mars is a bit optimistic. Like 1000 years optimistic. :D
