Re: Locking gas cap broken
On the way home from last Labor Day's camping trip regular gas was
$1.337(Cn) per liter in Windsor which is $4.30 (US) per gallon.
http://www.imagestation.com/album/pi...1096722&idx=22
It was $1.17 per gallon cheaper across the river in Detroit.
I think his comment was intended to show that this station was able to pump
gar more into the gastank than the tank capacity.
