By manipulating the design and some inherent characteristics of the 12 volt electrical <A HREF="http://www.sparkmuseum.com/GALV.HTM" REL="nofollow">D'arsonvalMeter</A> in your dash, smaller movements of the float device, or fuel sending unit, result in larger movement of the needle. This gives the driver better ability to match driving style to fuel consumption.<BR/><BR/>Obama was right BTW, when he connected tire pressure to fuel mileage, much bigger influence than people might be aware. Get a decent gauge,<A HREF="http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=45201" REL="nofollow">HarborFreight</A>,<BR/>and use once a week.<BR/><BR/>Warning, Harbor Freight is all made in China. The stuff we used to make before Wall Street financialized our economy. The quality keeps getting better, bully for the Chinese. Fuck Wall Street and Clowngress, let em' hang, we'll be alright, we already know how to tough it out, most of us.

Cell phone battery bars lie like fricken tarmac. Mine has three greens for about 2/3 of its battery life, probably 3-4 days, then it drops to two and then one in a hell of a hurry. They do this so that 1. you think that your battery is better than it is and 2. yoiu make more phone calls. <BR/><BR/>Gas gauges are somewhat similar, except that they show E before they're really E because it isn't a great advertisement for Mini to have them sitting on the side of the road because they're out of gas.deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410064795682939760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-30751718278013306782008-09-30T11:25:00.000-04:002008-09-30T11:25:00.000-04:00Erin, I see that you put being "American" ahead of...Erin, I see that you put being "American" ahead of being a "human being."

It's set to read empty even with a little reserved so that you go get gas BEFORE you run out...in case the next gas station is more than 8.3 miles away.<BR/><BR/>Chances are, that last quarter tank will go the entire 83.3 miles you deserve, if you try really hard.Glass Houseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945451135515350609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-65057201555291681562008-09-30T09:22:00.000-04:002008-09-30T09:22:00.000-04:00fucking hell! you are brilliant!fucking hell! you are brilliant!Erin O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09089592061725346901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-23279514425701002112008-09-30T09:09:00.000-04:002008-09-30T09:09:00.000-04:00back to the 70s.there's some sort of actual plot, ...back to the 70s.<BR/>there's some sort of actual plot, albeit retarded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
