When I drove my Honda Fit, I would drive it to "E" before filling up, because it was just a 10 gallon tank and I was getting over 400 miles/tank. When I bought the Frontier (current vehicle), I filled up at 1/2 tank. Since the hike in gas prices, I fill up when I hit 3/4 tank. Luckily, my driving is minimal now and I only fill it up about once/week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most (domestic) cars have a 2 gallon reserve and 15mpg (conservative old school milelage) sounds about right. I still use that rule on older car withOUT algorithm.

Reset my trip odometer at fill up time too... I knew I could safely get 25 miles after the light went on in the Fit. I've only driven the Frontier to "E" one time. When I filled it, my guess (based on how much gas it took) is that I'm probably safe for ~30 miles after the light comes on. In the Fit, I reset the odometer at every fill-up, but that was because I was commuting. I no longer do that. It actually felt a little liberating! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 The problem I have with EVs, IMO... Is that "fuel source" has a finite service life. No finite service life with fossil fuel. OTHER parts have a service life, but not the fuel itself... Of course, you're using the fuel regularly. Every charge is bringing you closer to a huge battery replacement bill. Not like a fuel pump, etc... Unless they can get infrastructure in place that can swap that battery out in as long as it takes to fuel a car... I will never be happy. Treat EV batteries like you do your propane exchange on your grill. We are headed to hell if they think EVs will work for the unwashed masses. It's an elite thing.

Also have to charge my phone between 40-80%. Is there anything that can help with an EV? Should I see a shrink? Range anxiety was an issue at first for me. But when I drive distances and found through different apps where chargers were located, I lost that anxiety. There are portable batteries that you can place in your EV that will provide an extra charge if you need it. Maybe you need something like that if you get an EV. @ExiledInIllinois mentioned concern with battery replacement. I have that concern as well though I know Tesla owners who have had their model S approaching 10 yrs. They have lost some range but are not concerned yet with battery replacement. i have taken a different approach. I purchased my Tesla 2 years ago and sold it a few months ago for more than I paid. I will buy another one very soon. They are deploying new battery technology which reduces the battery cells required and thus the weight which results in an increase in range…plus they charge faster. The car is a computer with wheels and technology is constantly changing. I guess I am considered an early adopter but I research before I purchase. High demand for Tesla EVs so may sell and buy another every few years to keep up with technology updates. I sold the car within a week of listing it so feel this approach is cost-effective and keeps up with technology changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first (and last) time trying sushi was a horrible experience. It was at a work event and a co-worker knew I'd never had it. I specifically said that the thought of eating raw fish was not appealing to me. She told me that not all sushi had raw fish and said, "here ... try this one." Turned out to be raw eel and had no choice but to eat it, as I was surrounded by co-workers. Horrendous. My mind was made up that day that I'd never try any kind of sushi again. This was about 15 years ago and the streak is alive and well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconator Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 When I lived in California I got on a California roll kick. So I stopped into a Sushi restaurant to have said California roll, but when I came time to order, I ordered raw shark. With soy sauce it wasn't half bad, but of course I've never had it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a rental one time, heading back to the airport and the fuel light came on when the drive to empty estimate was about 35 miles. (My company would do the pre-pay gas option because sometimes we'd be rushing from a job site to catch a flight and did not want us to miss it while trying to find a gas station) Based on the MPG the car was getting; I really do think it had between 1/2-1 gallon of gas left when I dropped it off.

I only go now when I can get the VIP tent tickets for having Club seats. Before then, the early 2000's, I'd go a few times every year, but that was also when there would be 20 or more practices, sometimes even morning and afternoon sessions.

I get serious "Prom King who peaked in high school and never left the small town he grew up in, instead remaining there as a local celebrity and owning a car dealership" vibes from them. It's like thanks, guys, for everything you did, but the city and fans have been stuck on the early 90s Bills for a quarter century now. Enough is enough. ESPECIALLY now that we have an exciting new era of Bills football. I don't need to see, read about, and hear from Jim Kelly every other Sunday. God bless the man and his family, and thanks for the memories, but at some point, enough is enough. Wow😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I think it's perfectly fine more often not to root for more than one team in a sport. Example of reasons: You move to a new city You discover a new city you really love and want to see its sports teams do well There's players on the team you have followed since college and before On the team you root for there are guys with horrible character On the team you love management is inept and doesn't care about the fans I mean its not like cheating on your partner. That being said jumping on a teams bandwagon is weak as hell. example: "Warriors fans" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD4Bills Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The obsession that fans have over uniform color combinations, "alternate helmets", and crap like that is ridiculous. If your team is good (or if they suck), they will still be good (or still suck) regardless of the uniform color combo or helmet they are wearing. It's all just opportunities to fleece a fan base out of their hard-earned money to get them to buy more unnecessary crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
