A barrel of oil is only about 42 gallons. I thought it was 55.
Out of one barrel of crude oil we get about 19.2 gallons of gas etc.
My local 7-11 is only selling high test now.
The other pumps are shut off.
I smile.

croco-

funny now because i drove back when the speed limit was
60 just about everywhere, and now, after years of driving
mostly at 50, i don't enjoy traveling at 60... seems just
a bit too fast. too easy to make a mistake and end up
in the ditch, especially on our more winding or hilly highways.


there are only two things that cause that and neither
is what you suggest. it's caused by...

1) getting old

2) smoking pot

which is your affliction?

i'm so used to thinking in terms of
kilometers that mph don't mean anything
to me anymore, besides, the speedometers
canadian cars are calibrated to kilometers
so its a moot point.

in vancouver, on the highway, i'd hit 120km
easily just to keep up with the traffic.
