Ethanol runs lean. You need bigger carb jets to make it work. In a car your long term fuel trim map needs enough range or it will throw a CEL.

Ethanol also absorbs moisture like mad, and etches aluminum unless its anodized.

Insanity can be defined as continually repeating the same behavior, and expecting different results.

Keep voting the same folks into office, and continue to gripe because they behave in the same fashion.

They, for their part, believe your continued support has bestowed on them a mandate to do what they did to you last term, but since you liked it sooooo much, this time harder and deeper... and no kissing this time...

p.s. we could use some locations, and times for those salary numbers...
weekly, biweekly, monthly, yearly...

[Reeltarded]

Oh great. Benefits provided. That makes me unable to compete. The reason food prices are so high is because the fake welfare market competition.

You cant insure against something you know is coming.

We are all to be subject to someone else when the market is a game of thrones.

Cumberland Farms stores, which are owned by Gulf Oil, are turning 35% of their part time emplyees to FULL time so they can get health benefits thru the company.

That's because they have to under the new health care laws. It's either that or or be fined.

The greed isn't going to stop until the country fails, and it will. I just hope the meltdown doesn't occur in what remains of my lifetime. Because it's gonna get ugly.

Not quite. They could just do what 99% of employers will do: Cut hours back so that no one works over 29 hours/week. Then, they're "part time" and don't count towards the fine. I'm sure that's how the law was intended...

So, instead of more people having insurance, they'll now be working multiple part-time jobs just to keep up with what they had before, plus enough to buy their own insurance, or face fines from the government. Ain't it grand?
