Twings, if you let yer Mini get to the ding-ding stage, it will fill up with about 12.1 gallons. Does on Romi very consistently. We figure somewhere between 13.5 and 14.5 gallons.

The 10.6 in the manual is wrong. It may be applicable to Mini's outside the U.S. though.

There is a list published of teh gas stations tested so far and the ones found to have pump meters incorrectly stating the amount pumped somewhere on the state's site. The Wife unit had an email with the list in it.

If she still has it, want me to forward it to you? Keep in mind, this list only shows the stations tested so far. They estimate the problem is very wide spread in Texas.

And this is not OT! You need support, and there ya go. Tada! We are InEfAr!

That gives me a good comfort level. I am going to stick with the stations I trust, though, and just keep my eye on it. Thanks for the offer of the list, but since I'm in a smaller town, I doubt if any locally are on it.

Thanks, both of you!! Y'all can tell I don't get around in NAM too much, but even if I did, this is the best group!

InEfAr people are all special! Imaginations are allowed to run wild with that one.

InEfAr (NFR) sounds like a good group to me

See,..we are all special in some way. rooandren need a little help, so pardon me fer a minute.

Now rooandren,..follow the pointer.

N = Night = In
F = Fire = Ef
R = Red = Ar

NFR = InEfAr

TaDa!

Peeps inclined towards InEfAr are tilted more than others.

Technically, the phoenetic spelling for the letter 'N' is 'EN'. But the rest is quite correct.

But is she good looking? That goes a long way towards the "Who cares if she is Bi or Dutch!" category.
