What if that were to require a full tank?

Same here...mine is not my daily driver either. I've only filled it up a couple times since I got it just to see what kind of mileage it did get...then I quit cause it hurt too much spending that kind of money to fill it...I only drive it once or twice a month, so $30-40 a month is all it costs me in gas.

especially when the ethanol in the fuel can literally condense into water in a couple weeks

I wonder if the driver of the fed-ex truck wasn't already dead/unconscious at the time of the collision...... according to witnesses, his truck was already on fire..... they just don't say if it was the cab, or trailer that was burning.

I agree with you. The way the accident looks to me it doesn't look like he consciously lost control. Usually if they consciously lose control they try to correct and spin. This one looks like it simply crossed the median.

It seems to me like the authorities don't believe the witnesses or doubt them...

Got the Craftsman riding mower up and running today, fresh fuel, cleaned the air filter, little gas down the intake and it's running like a champ.

Now to get a new set of blades and I'll be set to mow.

Why not just sharpen the blades?

Got some more snow today. Must have rained before the snow. I have never slid so bad. I suppose mud tires, no abs, and short wheelbase don't help haha.

eventually you do have to get new blades because the old ones will be so thin they will suck at cutting. Ive seen blades that had been sharpened so much the blade width was half what the the rest of the blade was
