"Idling for 1 hour burns nearly 1 gallon of gasoline."

"For every two minutes a car is idling, it uses about the same amount of

So that van ran for 30 hours and nobody reported it?

Good muffler.

$2.59 (Lowest - today)

I'm very loyal to my local gas station. It's rare if I fill up elsewhere.
My station is #2. ($2.59)

#2 (today) doesn't show up on the map, but it's west of the (ANE) airport,
where the "N" in Anoka is. g
