Subject: RE: BS: Petrol stations
Recently I had to drive for 23 miles through south west London

On one trip from Seattle to Wichita, with a new vehicle so I didn't yet know how accurate the gage was, we hit "time to fill up" on the Interstate and started looking for a pump. It was night time, and a sleet storm had blown in, with intermittent fog separated by patches of snow/sleet/rain for 170 miles before we found something open.

That was about 12 years ago and I'm still trying to "unpucker" from the tension of thinkin' about LiK havin' to walk to look for gas and wonderin' how much she could carry. Wasn't 'nuff traffic for her even to wave some flesh and hitch a ride.
