You're Not Getting Free Premium Gas, You Bozo
You’ve probably heard the old trick: Pull up to a gas pump right after a fancy luxury car leaves, and you’ll get a little bit of the premium gas they left in the pump’s hose added to the 87-octane swill you’re buying.

At their peak in 2000, Americans bought about 1.3 million minivans, but now there are just four minivans on the market and the segment has shrunk by 80 percent. That sucks. You can get a Chrysler, a Toyota, a Honda, or a Kia. That’s it. That’s all that’s left. Is this the world you want to live in? - Bradley Brownell Read More
