Wawa is where we get our gas. They have 91, which is what we require for the Benz.

It's about $0.25 less than the 93. We hold 20 gallons (+/-), so the savings is half a Big Mac.

did you get your free coffee?

I've started drinking tea in the afternoon.  I used to do that at work every day.  I still have coffee in the AM, one large cup.

I was chuckling that "they" made having a coffee maker at your desk at work against "safety rules".  I would hide mine, they'd have a safety check once a month, if you flunked, you got signed up to do another check.  Folks who did the checks were, obviously, not very motivated to note violations.  Usually, folks would pass it back and forth between about five folks who didn't care, they'd just walk around the building after hours and check some box and give a violation to one of the five.

I figured it was to force folks to buy rather bad coffee at the little company store in the bldg.

yup, 77-80 wasn't a good period for most vehicles

I drove a 78 Caprice Classic

not sure what about it was classic, besides maybe the back seat!

The emissions stuff really hit around 1970 but got more serious 1973ish, and most cars had catalytic converters by 1975.  Most also still had carburetors, which I think was probably the prime overall source of reliability issues.  Once cars started having fuel injection, they mostly started to be more reliable enginewise.

but, it's a ford

A friend won't buy a VW because of the pollution scam they ran.  I'm not so altruistic, I'm going to buy what I THINK is best for me.

I don't view any of the car companies as somehow more "moral" than any others.
