    will cabin air filter remove Skunk and Pot smells?

    Cabin filters filter out particulates and dust, not smells. Gee, I grew up in Northern New Jersey in a town called Kearny NJ. To the west was a linoleum factory. To the north was a plant that processed urea. To the east was garbage dumps and pig farms. To the south was a slaughter house...

    Where/How Do You Buy A Used car?

    I knew someone who wanted to buy a repairable used motorcycle that had accident damage. He had the chutzpah to call the survivors of people killed on their motorcycles, to see if they wanted to sell the motorcycle involved in the accident.

    Days between startups

    Gas has gone up 30+%, why hasn’t automotive Oil?

    A barrel of oil is 42 gallons, or 168 quarts. If oil has gone up $50 a barrel, that is about 30 cents a quart. If a quart of oil retails for about $9, adding 30 cents would be a price increase of about 3.5% Maybe they will get around to it at some point.

    New business buildings but no electricity.

    Sounds to me the store was built in an isolated location far from existing utility service. The utility likely wants them to pay for the cost of line extensions, but Hobby Lobby has not agreed to pay. My career was in utility regulation and negotiation on behalf of larger consumers. Line...

    New business buildings but no electricity.

    Sounds like they need to live "off the grid" with a solar array, wind turbine, a storage battery, and if all else fails, a diesel generator.

    Gulf is no longer an oil company. Its a trade mark. In different parts of the country, different suppliers own the right to sell Gulf labeled fuel. In Vermont, Gulf stations are supplied by Cumberland Farms.
