My wife told me she was almost out of gas and didn't get a chance to fill it up. I decided to just run up to the corner Texaco station and fill it up for her. I jump in her Audi and the dash computer says I have ZERO miles until empty. Yay!!



I drive up to the station and find its been changed over to a shell station.



The suprise!!! Somehow they never got any gas in but Premium Unleaded (93 octane) so they decided to sell it at $2.08 a gallon.



Well, since all of my cars require Premuim, I ran back home grabbed my Mini (1/2 a tank) and went and filled it up too.



I am taking my RX-7 there today.



Kind of a blurry pic I was shaking with excitement.
