    Thats the problem. I wish i could write it off on my taxes.

    The good news is that the current price on a Labatt Blue Light 28 pack is 13.99 after the $4.00 mail in rebate.

    At 50 cents a bottle, they are certainly not discouraging me from drinking the stuff.

    I worked at a gas station a few years ago and had to tell the customers to turn the vehicles off while fueling up.

    not to get off topic but doesn't doing that lower your mpg,increase the chances of an explosion,and decrease the chances of you getting to smoke a cig again?

    I guess it would be okay if you are inconsiderate and only kill yourself, but when you put other people's lives in danger, that's when i have a problem with it.

    my stepdad was pumping gas in the cold one day. His feet started getting really cold so he looked down and there was a leak where the hose met up with the nozzle. It had leaked all over his shoes. had he been smoking a cig and not realized in time you can't tell me that wouldn't have caused an explosion

    We don't have much in the way of freezing temps down here but I leave the engine running when it is hot outside and the better half is in the vehicle. If I'm by myself I turn it off.

    Toyota all weather floor mats. Mag light that clunks around in the jack compartment. Dog hair. Dog drool on the windows.
    I leave it running all the time. No static if you ground yourself. And it's no worse than starting your truck up after fueling. Not like sparks fly out the exhaust while running. And gas fumes stay close to the ground. so sparks are more likely from the starter, or starter solenoid. Just my opinion.
