Do they have gas now? I stopped by earlier for that price and all they had was premium.
ReplyDeleteThere was a tanker when I was there gassing up my car. I filled up with regular unleaded, so the answer is, yes.
ReplyDeletePost their prices again in a couple of days ...
ReplyDeleteWe filled up at Sam's about 7pm tonight and didn't buy premium. There were lines at every pump.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a good idea to buy gas when the tanker is refilling the station. As the tanker fill the storage tanks, the flow of gas stirs up all the sediment and crap in the storage tank that winds up in your vehicles tank.
ReplyDeleteJust so you know
anonymous 6:47, Wives Tale.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the posting Joe.
ReplyDeleteI know some of you remember the 1970's and gas lines; the green agenda and all, the A-frame homes with the sky lights.
Seems the Democrats never learn. I am convinced Democrat is short for BIG DUMMY.
6:47 there are filters/water-fuel separators in-line before the pumps. Just so you know.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Joe on this one, where do you think they pump the gas from? The bottom of the tank. (think windex bottle) Unless you go to some special place that takes the underground tank out and they tip it over and pour you some off the top. Same goes for your cars tank, it's taken off the bottom.
ReplyDeleteAlmost every other time I go to fill up there's a tanker there. I've had my fuel filter changed once in that time at 80,000 miles. I also change my oil every 6,000 miles. I've never had a problem, had the same car for 9 years/120,000 miles and get 28mpg.
took 20 minutes to pump 7 gallons. They are extremely SLOW pumps.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, you're right. Last evening the pumps were very slow for some reason. That isn't normal though. I wonder if they pump slower when they are filling the tanks?
ReplyDeleteSlow fuel dispensers can be due to a couple of reasons:
ReplyDeleteThe pump itself is submersible inside of the tank. If all the dispensers are drawing at the same time, this can lower the available pressure , thus making it take longer to fill your tank. Try opening every faucet or spigot in your house at the same time, and see how that affects the flow at any one of them. Same sort of thing.
2) As others have pointed out, the tanker refilling process can stir up debris at the bottom of the tank. There are filters present in the dispensers to prevent that junk from clogging your tank and fuel system. Those filters can get clogged themselves, reducing the flow of fuel. Which means it will take longer to fill your tank.
A combination of these factors was probably in play last night ....
We were in line behind a guy filling up a mini van. It took him forever! Guess his pump was moving slow.
ReplyDeleteWe then realized our gas door was on the other side of the vehicle (driving a dealer loaner) and had to move to another pump in the center. That pump was really fast. I think the outter pumps are always slow pumping.
