new gig or retirement?


New project or home office. I work in construction management, and the current project was just close enough to not qualify me for relocation but double my previous 45 min commute. Helps when there's an end date established though. Im 25 so retirement is loooong off

My wife came home from a 90 round trip and didn't get gas. It said 5 miles left on gas tank and when I was driving to a local gas station it hit 0 miles left. I didn't run out tho. And it was a 2017 jetta, so maybe I should sue them for lying about fuel ratings??!!

Model A had a gravity feed carb, gas tank had to be behind and higher than the carb. They also had cruise control.
I'm not sure the throttle qualifies as cruise control. I have a 31 Model A and a 31 Model A pickup. They don't get driven much any more.

My tank never gets below 1/2, my dad always said you can put $5 in it and keep it full or put $5 in it and keep it empty.
I like never having to wonder if getting diesel is going to affect my travel time.
And I generally only get fuel at racetrack, because deisel pumps at every one makes me happy.

Fill it up when I don't have enough gas to get where I need to go next.

drive around on E all the time. Less gas = less weight to drive around=better gas mileage=profit.

I rarely leave the city so never more than a mile away from a station. I get below 10 miles to E on pretty much every tank. Saves me time by not filling up as often.

About 4:00 pm on Tuesdays.

Or whenever it's almost out of gas.
