Filling up today, I wanted to fill her all the way up, not just until it clicked off like I have been.
So, there I was, it clicked off, and I put more in, it clicked off a second time. At this point, I'm about 8 cents short of the next dollar, so I figure, that much like my old Explorer, where I could fit another 75 cents worth of gas in when it clicks off, I could add a tiny 8 cents with no sweat.
The gas that was running down the side disagreed with me. I cleaned up, and paid, no problem, but still, I felt a little embarrased. Here I am with this fuel efficient superSUV, and I'm spilling gas.
I also seem to have found myself in the fill up well before 0 group, in fact, today is the lowest I've ever gotten my miles to empty, at 99. Mostly not because of anything other than the price drops in gas, or I have some big drives coming up. (This weekend I'm going to a family reunion, 80+ miles round trip, and I know I'll be giving rides there to all the people who will be excited to see a hybrid; most of them are engineers.)
When the Gas Pumps Click, Stop!
