    The Man in the High Castle

    Top Tier Gas Again

    Best bet is to go with Costco. Their system means that not only are you getting the additive, but it's been properly mixed. Read this from 2004. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=277725 Originally Posted By: fuel tanker man I've been in the petroleum...

    Battery maintainer question

    Originally Posted By: HTSS_TR I'm very sure Pro-Logix is a great charger/maintainer(after reading 901Memphis' review). The concern I have is it may consume excessive power in maintainer mode, the tiny maintainer I have uses less than 10W(about 6-8W) in maintainer mode. I don't drive my S2000...

    I disagree. The American way is to perform tests that are not in fact recommended by the medical associations while falsely claiming that they do follow those recommendations, to perform the actual tests in an underhand manner that conceals the fact that it is a separate billable item, and then...
