1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline,diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is tempe rature-compensated so that the indicated gallon gage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps.

2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.

3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof'membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation.)

4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting,thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money. Hope this will help ease your 'pain at the pump'

I went water skiing yesterday and now my shoulders, neck and arms are stiff and sore. My neck is bothering me most. The soreness is like making it really painful to move it. I already tried to stretch and that was really painful. Any tips on how to get rid of it quickly would be greatly appreciated.

how come no mention of this in the US media, or is that because they do not want it to a) be known the US is doing well and b) British allies are doing an outstanding job as well

A British-led multi-national force in southern Afghanistan says it has found a network of well-established bunkers at a former Taleban stronghold.

SAWYER: For instance, recently, a new law just in effect in Oklahoma made it a felony not only to provide employment, a job, to an illegal immigrant, but how about this? Provide transportation or shelter? DOBBS: Right, it's already -- DOBBS: Vigilantes? I think that's a law that should be --

SAWYER: Well, turning, turning people in for transportation or shelter--

DOBBS: It's already a felony, by the way to do so. It's against the law in this country to aid and abet anyone breaking U.S. law so we have a lot of people in violation on the federal level. Oklahoma did a, put together a strong powerful law in that state. In the state legislature and that government followed the will of the people. It is precisely that will that exists across this country. This is a welcoming nation. We have, as I said, we're the most racially divorce, socially diverse society on Earth. And we bring in more than two million legal immigrants. Why do you-- does anyone expect working men and women in this country, the middle class in this country, to accept being ignored, their will being ignored by the two political parties on the issue of illegal immigration, border security, the failure of public education, the failure to invest in our infrastructure. Who in the world are these arrogant elites who think that because they're in a branding mechanism called the Republican or Democratic parties, they have the right to ignore the will of the majority? It's the basic tenet of democracy, to represent the majority.http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2007/11/20/abcs-sawyer-vigilantes-going-too-far-combat-illegals

They sang love songs, and most likely would have had their biggest hits in the mid to late 90's. Very possibly english, or european.

I am considering buying a plasma tv (possibly a Samsung tommorow) and wanted to know if the Plasmas still have problems with burn-in? I have one LCD in the house and wanted something a little less expensive in a 50 or 60 inch for my bedroom than the LCD. How is the experience you've had with burnin and resolving it? I play PS3 alot and watch a LOT of DVD's.

My son was born 6 weeks early due to placenta previa, weighing only 4lbs 9ounces. he was in intensive care for 2 weeks. when he was 10 months old, he started having seizures. After his 3rd one, the neurolologist put him on phenobarbital. At that time, we had early intervention come into our home and do PT,OT and eventually speech therapy with him. he did not start to crawl until he was over 2 years old. the therapists are having a hard time with him because he has very high muscle tone. he does stand now, but won't stay standing, instead jumping up and down. he does alot of rocking back and forth when he sits. he will be 3 yr old in january and he is not talking or walking yet. he just had a seizure last week after going 1yr 9mths without one. we have been to developmental clinics and neurologists and no one seems to know what is wrong with my son, saying they don't do testing until they are 3 yr old. i'm just frustated and just would like some answers. thanks

Sometimes on a Saturday night my father goes to visit his brother and a few times he's come home and I can smell alcohol on his breath. We are Muslim and it is forbidden to drink alcohol. I asked him and he denies it and says I'm being ridiculous.I don't worry about him driving because my uncle lives about a half mile away and my father walks there. I mentioned it to my mother and she told me that it is none of my business and I'm not to mention it again or to anyone else.

My friend says that there are some Muslims that drink alcohol privately but nobody says anything. Does any other Muslims here know about this?

Please no nasty comments about Muslims.
