On this rock, it's the same way. There's little chance of filing a car
with diesel though - the nozzle won't fit. I guess you could fill a
diesel with gas - that would suck too.

It would destroy your diesel engine. Putting diesel into a gas engine
just means draining and cleaning.

I have heard that gas in a diesel will do this but I suspect that it's
one of those things that everybody knows but nobody's really tried to
test out.

As far as the nozzle for diesel fitting into the filler for gasoline, my
guess is that the federal nozzle compliance squad didn't get to your
neck of the woods or the owners of the station just replaced the nozzle
with a standard one instead of waiting a couple of weeks to have a new
oversized diesel nozzle shipped in. This probably happens quite
frequently. Check to see if there's a federal requirement for this and
if there is, try to extort money from the owners. Good luck! :-)

A happy ending for me to the hail storm that dropped baseball-sized
hail on the Chevy dealer.

Bought a new hail damaged car this evening. They knocked off over a
thousand dollars, and you probably wouldn't even notice the dings if
you weren't looking. Another 1000 off in GM Card savings, and 1500
more off in instant rebate. I'm now driving a Chevy Aveo. Goodbye old
green clunker. And it has something I've desired for years, cruise
control. The only downside is it's red, not white, but it sure was
the right price.

I bought it through their internet sales dept. The guy offered it at
that great discount over email.

That's the way we bought our last car too.

WTF is so wonderful about cruise control? I've had cruise control in
my last three vehicles and never use it, it has only disadvantages and
no advantages... it's dangerous in even light traffic and in no
traffic can lull you into a comatose state. I even have cruise
control on my tractor, quite useless as slowing to turn at the end of
a row or slowing for any reason cancels it. Cruise control is an
accident (actually an on-purpose) waiting to happen.

I don't use it in traffic, only on uncrowded divided highways. It
makes one's right leg happier on long drives.

> and in no traffic can lull you into a comatose state.

Maybe it could "lull [YOU] into a comatose state."

You're especially full of shit this time.

I use cruise control often. And I'm more aware of what's going on
around me on the road so I can disengage it if needed quickly.

It's too easy to speed when the traffic is light. This ensures that you
don't go over the speed limit.

what in the hell would you know about that? (unless you were giving them.)
