1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Maybe? I've noticed it over the last year so it happens all over I would guess. Right now at my station it's $2.49 for regular and $2.99 for premium. But I hit the station on the res a mile north of home. The nearest gas station is $3.76 for premium, so the extra mile is worth it to fill up.

 

Stopped by the old house on my way into work this AM to pick up any mail that wasn't getting forwarded and a couple things we forgot in the attic. He had told us he wanted to list that house by the start of the new year and that's why he needed us gone by Dec. 1 (gave us exactly the 60 days required so that's fair, but the timing around the holidays definitely sucked).

The house hasn't had hardly a damn thing done to it lol. Few walls have been repainted but he still needs to repaint the exterior, pull up and replace that old hardwood and carpet, re-landscape the backyard, etc. He'll be lucky to list it by February

 

I asked because Washington is in the Top 4 highest average gas prices in the nation (most of the time, sometimes it does fall out of the bracket) and while the base cost is high the difference between "grades" (That term is bad) is pretty minimal. So it would have struck me as odd if NM was trying to outdo us haha

 

The only big name grocery store we have near us in Azusa is a Costco of all things about 6 or 7 min away. But I still can't be bothered to go there for the significantly cheaper gas, the lines are always crazy. I'll pay the extra .20c per gallon/$3 per tank at the Arco down the street from it to not have to wait in a line of impatient people.

 

That's reassuring. Both 2 and 3 have reduced compression numbers. They're still in spec as far as absolute values, but at the low end of spec and out of spec relative to 1 and 4.

In the leakdown test, the leakage was most audible through the spark plug hole of the adjacent cylinder--pressure in 2 was audible through 3 and vice versa.

 

You have to time it right, I pretty much only go on my lunch and its never a bad line. Right after work, or on a like Saturday/Sunday afternoon its terrible.
Premium there is basically the same price as regular at Circle K/QT

 

Do you get 85 octane high-altitude fuel? Maybe that skews the relative numbers?

 

There's hardly ever anyone at the Tempe Costco anyway. I used to go to that one daily for lunch, short walk

 

yeah that’s the thing, since it’s near our house my only options to go there are the worst timing ones.

 

Yeah its nice. Go all the time but I've never walked it, and I'm even closer to them in this complex than you were lol

We usually go to the chandler one on weekends, and its pretty much always absolutely packed

 

Never liked that 85 octane shit.

Yeah I used to go to that one a lot too, the Tempe one actually had a better food court though because of the little offshoot for eating.

I would always go this way because there was a little coffee shop on the way

 

Damn thats a hike goin that way

 

funny, just saw this on a Raccoon Cult page

 

Our gas is cheaper, I guess just a bigger spread between reg and premium.

I'm usually pretty much like that too, but for me it's $8 a full up with the truck. Plus cheaper beer and smokes inside since it's on the res and it's the nearest diesel. The Chevron close to my apt has neither booze nor diesel weirdly.

I havent looked since I only do premium and diesel, but Google maps shows my stations regular is 86 octane.

 

A week and a half ago, holidays I understand but there have been working days, unless they've closed for it I guess.

 

Took me like 2 months or so for my Fox, and a similar amount of time for my Kings

I'd expect the same for your ADS unless they happen to have some right off the shelf for ya (which neither of us can confirm)

 

@Kwikvette I've got my tube tying appointment scheduled for the end of the month


The birth control options we've been using have really been affecting her mood and day to day so I finally got the green light

Well, first appt is on the 30th then we schedule the procedure from there

 

Yeah she was afraid of using anything that was gonna change her mood and all that - crazy how their bodies react differently after having a kid.

Hope you have a speedy recovery my dude!

I would've been all in for a group buy with you, me @Tour991 and @Sperrunner

I hear everyone has different symptoms after the fact, a bit of soreness for some or a few painful weeks for others

 

yeah and 2 was always my limit. She wasn't completely sold on that but I think Sofia's epic nuclear size meltdowns lately combined with River coming into toddlerhood and all the mayhem that entails have finally convinced her that 2 is our limit to preserve what sanity we still have left lol.
