I just had an odd realization today.

I stop at my local gas station on a fairly regular basis. They have good coffee. And here's a strange one... really good egg rolls! Always good for a bite on the go.

I also stop there for air for my tires. (The other stations CHARGE you for it!)

So, what I realized today is that I very seldom actually GET GAS when I'm at the gas station.

You might be an Ecomodder if you only ever get gasoline about 20% of the time that you are even AT the gas station!

(And yes, that' in the gas vehicle, not the electric one!)
