I give up. I think I have mentioned before I am the guy who avoids The Cheesecake Factory because their menu scares the hell out of me. Too many choices and there is no way you can be good at cooking that many items.
This week I found this at my local gas pump….More gas choices?
Was there a large public outcry of people that felt they did not have enough octane options? Does someone’s car really run better at 88 octane but not well at 89? What happened to 92? Am I suppose to pick the striped label gas or the solid label gas? Is the striped label only for people in the circus? I am lost.
Furthermore, since I did not see any additional tanks being installed during the time it went from three choices to five; this just further proves my theory all the gas comes out of the same hole in the ground.
Enough already. If I show up and there is 88.5 octane someone is going to lose a limb!
Fine, I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~Godfadr
Personally I feel the Cheesecake factory has a horrendous menu. The cheesecake may be good, but my mother in law’s cheesecake ruined me, even from the place that is supposed to specialize in the sugar-formulated dessert I consider my crack addiction.
As for the gas issue…..I personally don’t get it either. I knew a guy who had an old caddy that only ran well on the premium stuff, but I’ve always gone with the normal stuff (which in Iowa is now the ethanol blend). The 89 octane used to be the regular unleaded, now its the ethanol stuff…either way it was always cheaper, so thats whta I went with.
Oh joy be today. A day that ushers in the “special” grade of fuel. My bated breathe subsides.
Maybe those silly new Smart Cars require special polka dot or striped labled gas? Or maybe the gas companies realized they can make a couple more bucks by confusing the hell out of us.
i agree with your conspiracy totally i feel like i cant trust anything that has to do with the government these days
