Better fuel atomization results in an increase in gas mileage of up to 28%!!! In most cases this

means MPG savings of 4 to 5 Miles Per Gallon.
This translates into $.70-.95 per gallon savings!

2.Increase Power!
Dynometer testing demonstrates an increase of 4-13 horsepower as well!

Still not cheap, but what I would pay after giving them labor costs for the diagnosis and then taking it somewhere else and starting over.

If they didn't have your signature on a work order you could have pulled it, but looks like it worked out okay... for now


So... I was lounging on the beach with a couple of bananas. Shortly a turd comes floating by. He yells at the bananas, "C'mon in ladys, the water is fine!" One banana looks at the other and says, "Do you believe that crap?"

Good Friday evening Had a good day today. Dr gave me some new meds and did something for the first time in a month.Washed the car and did it without sucking too much Albuterol LOL


Serious question: Does anyone know how to clean PowerSteering Fluid Stains off pavers? Had a PSP blow on the Mini in the driveway Procrastinated now the HOA just sent a a warning. Bought
some stuff called SealKrete OSR a thick white citrus based product. It didn't work that great imho Any ideas short of replacing them or turning them over which either way will be a PITA. Thanks.

Sky Man, I was going to suggest Cat Litter (unused, of course ) on a stain if it was wet - as cat clay will absorb just about anything; and suggest dry laundry determent moistened enough to make it stick together on a dry stain, but thought I'd check the web before commenting.

Here's what I found on the web. Damn, I'm good.

1. Fresh Stains
   
   • 1Pour kitty litter or sawdust directly onto the power steering fluid. Allow it to sit on the fluid for several hours.
     
     
   • 2Stir up the kitty litter or sawdust as the fluid begins to absorb. Use a push broom to move it around so that it can absorb any remaining fluid on the concrete.
     
     
   • 3Use a shovel to scoop away the kitty litter or sawdust, along with the power steering fluid, once it looks as if it has been absorbed completely.
     
     
   • 4Scrub the area with grease-cutting dish soap and water. Use a stiff scrub brush to briskly scrub the stain. Rinse the area with plain water.
     
     
   Dried Stains
   
   • 1Fill a bucket with warm water. Add a few squirts of grease-cutting dish soap.
     
     
   • 2Pour the soapy water directly onto the power steering fluid stain. Scrub the area briskly with a stiff scrub brush.
     
     
   • 3Fill the bucket again, this time with hot water. Dump the hot water onto the stained area. Scrub again with the scrub brush.
     
     
   • 4Rinse the area clean with hot water.
     
     
   • 5Use powdered laundrydetergent to remove power steering fluid from concrete. Sprinkle a generous amount of the detergent onto the stained area. Add some water to form a paste. Scrub the area with a stiff scrub brush and allow it to sit overnight. Add more water the next day and scrub again. Rinse the area clean with plain water.
     
     
   • 6Apply ovencleaner if the stain persists. Cover the stain with oven cleaner and scrub with a wire brush. Rinse the area clean with water.
     
     
   • 7Clean the concrete with trisodium phosphate if you don't want to go with one of the other cleaning methods. Mix 1 cup trisodium phosphate with 1 gallon of water. Pour the mixture onto the stain and allow it to soak in for about 20 minutes. Scrub with a stiff scrub brush and rinse clean with water. Repeat the process if necessary.

This makes me laugh. One of my techs had it on her phone, played it at work, and I laughed til I cried... Make sure you have your volume on, because there's no video, just audio.

We just finished our early family Christmas celebration. My father-in-law is going to Arizona to see my hubby's sister for Christmas, so I whipped up a nice little prime rib dinner. It was fun, but I really missed having my mom-in law around...

It's a tough time of year for many who have lost loved ones, even if it's been several years. I'm just going to enjoy what I have and where I am.
