Turn your ASS back on yet?

[BrassSlinger]

Careful with some of these gas stations now that fuel is insane. I got a $125 pending charge when getting 6 gallons the other day. Usually its $1 to check credit line which goes away in 3 days.

I wasnt happy when i got the text for $125 pending charge on $26 worth of gas

I turned my ASS off a longtime ago. I have no need for it unless the “urge” comes over me and I make a mad dash to relieve myself ?

Mine's staying off.

Being old I remember when it got to where the pumps couldn't do the per gallon price, so they changed it to liters.

Good news if you live in BURNSVILLE, N.C.

Problem is they sold out in a few hours.

You know..... I was wondering if you or anyone has noticed that there's no place for the #1 on the sign if it reaches $10.00 or more. The sign goes up to 9.99⁹

My dad worked at a little corner store with a butcher an basic groceries an with gas pumps out front. They had the old mechanical number dials on the pumps an they only had 2 digit price options. They had to charge by the half gallon until they replaced the pump mechanisms. Talk about confusing the red necks that stopped there. I can say that, I'm one of them, but one that can do math. I think that was in 1980

WTI price per barrel went down about $15 over this last week. Highest I saw was around $125 Tuesday, its sitting just under $110 right now. Still very high, and operators aren't drilling much at all right now. Of course it doesn't matter if the price drops to $60/barrel overnight, we won't see gas prices fall nearly as fast as the rise. In Houston we're still under $4 a gallon at most stations.

I figured after taking delivery two weeks ago, I would give it a really fair chance, and learn how it works, so I can try to work in sync with it. (it's the engineer side of me doing it's thing)

I have to say, after a short adjustment of about 2 days, once I came to understand how it works, I have actually been ok with it being enabled.

My literal only gripe about it, is that it encourages 'rolling stops' at stop signs, since out here in the rural burbs, it's rare there is enough cross traffic warranting a full on stop for a few seconds.

Otherwise, I just have gotten better at predicting traffic lights up ahead to slow early and coast/creep until the light changes, or, if I see I will be stopped for a while, come right to a stop and let it shut off.

So, for me, it's basically been on the whole time. That probably makes me the odd duck around here. (not as odd as budule though... LOL) Hopefully it really does help with fuel economy... I will be tracking consumption for the first year or so using the Fuelly app, so we'll see...

I too just left it on & do the same as you. I don't understand the hate for this.

2 digit price. Vintage item right there.

Must be the odd one out. Never turn it off and it doesn’t bug me at all.

It doesn’t bother me either, but it drives my husband crazy. I just leave it off to keep the peace.

Mines been on, but this guy is hauling it....?

My second part time job was at a gas station in 1966, (they were all full service then) and we had pumps like that. There were still plenty of WW1-era folks that learned how to drive around the turn of the century. In those days, the gas was hand pumped from the storage tank into a glass container atop the pump, that had markings on it in half-gallon increments, and that's how it was sold; by the quantity, not by the dollar amount. They would always ask for "5 gallons" or ," 8-8 1/2gallons if she'll take it all," rather than "X bucks worth" or "fill it". the price was always an odd amount like $3.47, and they always paid in cash.

The day may come soon when all pumps display thousands in the price. At truck stops: a 200 gallon fill at $4.999 = $999.80

Gee....I hope not.

It may not happen if electric cars will be the norm in the future.

It was my understanding that the ASS was for emissions not fuel economy.
