Bonehead employee !

So one of my hispanic workers hands me gas receipts for this week. He was quite upset pointing to one receipt. It was for $112 for 20 gallons of gas. . So when he went to the 76 gas station down the street and pulled up to the pump that dispenses 115 octane racing gas, he never paid attention to the octane rating. Oh well s happens, it was good for a laugh. Lifes too short to get wound up on the little things.

Wow... your lucky you can get it at the pump. We have to buy it in 55 gallon drums and it costs a lot.....boys run it in their quads, and I run it in my 428 CJ.

115 works in any high performance engine.. I used to run 110 in my plane, and the same in our drag boat years ago.

$ 5.60 a gallon is reasonable for that grade.

Somehow it's not quite as shocking as it would have been a couple years ago. I put $115 in my trucks twice a week!!

Our gas prices are over $1CDN per litre right now. It's $120/fill-up at that price.

I got the fastest F 150 construction p/u on the street ...... at least until they have to fill it up again. However they did say the truck was running better, but it sure was an expensive dose of octane boost. :

Glad to hear you can laugh it off. That's a great attitude!
