Thanks for the warning!!! I have noticed from time to time that I don't seem to get as much gas as I pay for, this is probably the explanation!


More likely is the fume recovery system, they can "take back" more than fumes if you don't have the right angle going into the tank.

Years ago I noticed at times more being pumped than the tank should be able to hold. You put just the tip of the nozzle into the hole, and pull the spring that forces you to have the nozzle in deeper, and nothing is taken back through the pump nozzle, it's a pain in the butt but I notice that what seems to be a more realistic amount of gas fills the tank.

Why didn't you divide the gallons by the price u paid, then u would at least know, or did u when u got home?


See my post, wh**ever the pump says you pumped even if it's wrong is the number used by the computer to calculate the price per gallon against that number, there will not be a difference because the pump doesn't know anything but the gallons it thinks it pumped. There is no other "real" number for there to be a different price.

This is a true story, so read it carefully.

Whichever grade you are using, put EXACTLY 1 (one) GALLON in your tank, then look at the dollar amount. If the dollar amount is not EXACTLY the price of the fuel PRICE ADVERTISED, then the pumps are r****d.

In my case, as I said, the mid-grade was $3.71 per gallon; my dollar amount or 1 gallons should have been $3.71.



Sorry, but pumping exactly what shows as one gallon is going to tell you nothing. If the pump is set for $3.71 for a gallon and you pump one gallon the amount charged is going to be $3.71. If the calibration is off you will have pumped less than the gallon the pump says you did, but you will be paying for the gallon it says you pumped that you didn't.

The only way you could tell would be to have an accurately calibrated can such as a five gallon plastic can. Use a larger cup measure like 4 cups and measure a true five gallons in it, chances are the mark on the container that says five gallons will be fairly accurate, you could just go by that. Now pump what shows as an exact five gallons and see how much gas is in the can.

Miscalibrated pumps don't have to be off by much, not enough to really notice on a tank of gas, but over hundreds of thousands of gallons even a teaspoon per gallon off would make a large difference.

The left would like to feel the same way about r****t pigs, who needs them? But they have enough integrity to know you don't advocate k*****g someone you don't agree with.

China has a severe advantage here, the weapons systems they develop are developed at cost, actual cost. They are then manufactured at cost. I'm sorry but we can't compete with an arms race against that, they have more cash that can be applied to systems in the first place, and our Pentagon manages to spend $1.5 Trillion dollars on a jet fighter and that is just for a few hundred. China can design a competitive jet for a few billion and go into production at a few million apiece, and make hundreds or thousands more of them and be hundreds of billions under what ours costs.

China would make a far better ally than broke Russia that needs our Exxon financial assistance to fund it's war machine.

The reality is that China is or will be the real super power, and skirmishing with them as Trump is inclined to do makes zero sense

The FISA court judges are appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

There goes another good conspiracy theory....shot all to hell.


Good catch, the FISA bench is made up of at least 8 republicans. Hard to tell what happens because it's done in secrecy and virtually all FISA requests are granted. That is the result of prosecutors knowing what the standard is more than a bias.

For that to mean anything you can't be a Trump supporter, it's not possible.

I have a really hard time knowing who's being facetious here because of the sincerity of Trump ideals.

I can't tell whether you think dems are the new Russia or Trump's admin is. There is only one party that wants to drop sanctions and work with Putin, hell Trump still wants his Trump Moscow hotel.

Well, actually... Russia is a 'democratic federative state (?)' based on the rule of law with a republican form of government. They even have a Constitution now. C*******m to them is as much anathema as it is the the US, if not more so, after all they lived with it for over 70 years.


If that's democracy it's a weird one. Running against Putin pretty much insures your death at the least, being railroaded into charges of corruption and imprisonment at the least. Putin plays rough, Trump would love to silence the media Russian style.

C*******m is dead in Russia, long live capitalism. Putin consolidated all of the oil companies, strange but wealthy oil magnates either joined or had their companies simply taken away from them.

Part of the new hard right seems to completely embrace Russia and all it stands for. They have a republican form of democracy, which looking at the way that's headed republicans with control do what they want with maintaining control being the operative goal.

If Trump wants a parade he can go to any military boot camp or technical school and watch people marching to and from classes and training.
He can go do a photo op on an aircraft carrier and even get a ride, that only costs five million or so.

The waste of pure man hours and logistical support t***sporting equipment and arranging the logistics of this few hours of parading our military is pigs**t of the most foul smelling kind.

I was in the military in nuclear missile systems, I'd have quit if I were forced to march in front of anyone. Does anyone who supports this know what it takes to get marching troops looking like North Korea's manekens? That's banana republic s**t.

This Navy SEAL has it right, and he is a Trump supporter by the way.

Trump needs to start listening to people, not telling them what he wants.

"In March 2017, ranking House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) alleged that committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) could not be objective in the investigation into possible Russia collusion in the 2016 U.S. p**********l e******n, and called on Nunes to recuse himself from any work on that probe. Now, Schiff has found himself on the receiving end of that same demand".

Actually that is not why Nunes was asked to step down. Nunes was running interference or working with the white house as pertains to classified documents. The intelligence committee, tasked with investigating Russian interference and possible ties to Trump's campaign and t***sition. While there seems to be disagreement about what Nunes was doing, there is no disagreement that wh**ever he was doing, whether it was getting documents from the white house DOJ to take back to Trump's admin, it maters not. Nunes had zero business interacting with the white house concerning his committee's investigation. The white house had no business in trying to interject any documents into the investigation. And yet regardless of the fact that Nunes recused himself rather than step down, here he is doing the same thing, sharing intelligence about Trump with Trump. Not to mention he is still making decisions about who is scheduled to testify or gets subpoenas. That doesn't sound like a recusal from the Russia investigation. Trump keeps getting involved in this investigation, he doesn't get the part where he can't do this.

I'm pretty tired of hearing there's nothing there when it's pretty damn obvious there is. And I'm pretty tired of political hacks like Gowdy and Nunes refusing to follow the evidence, which is why Mueller needs to be left alone.

And where is all this Russia Russia Russia noise coming from? The right, FOX news.

Fact: Trump and the white house are not supposed to breathe a word about the investigation. Nunes being in charge of the intelligence committee can ask for classified information pertaining to the investigation about Russia and Trump's campaign involvement, but it is all information that is supposed to be kept secret from the white house. Mueller is supposed to have the chance to complete his investigation and report on his findings.

All the noise you talk about is the nothing there burger with a side of invisible fries. The noise is all about planting the idea that there is nothing there. Flynn didn't flip over nothing, Manafort wasn't charged with nothing, Page has information to share, and so does the coffee boy.

And if and when republicans refuse to impeach, Trump will be charged with state prosecuted money laundering and racketeering charges.

Yeah I'm tired of the word Russia, and want sanctions enforced and extreme measures taken to put a stop to their political interference. I'm tired of a president that doesn't take protecting this country seriously.

The popular BELIEF (I emphasize that word because beliefs by definition have little to do with facts) pertaining to bias is that because someone has an opinion about someone, their actions cannot be trusted. That is dead wrong except for people who believe this to be true.

The biased person believes that people who don't support a position or law must be biased the other way. They cannot see that there are positions of justice that have to remove their personal feelings about an issue and rule in favor of fairness and the law.

So what does the biased person see as the fair thing if they happen to think that because a prosecutor h**es and despises someone they can't get a fair shake? They of course want someone who supports the person in question, who will go the other way.

Now what if the person is guilty as charged, evidence supports that, but the judge or investigation likes the person so they choose to ignore the evidence?

It's actually easier to see bias than people think, it's easier to see obstruction than people think. Flynn getting persecuted by a biased and r****d system? Bulls**t, he was communicating with Russia and helping facilitate lifting sanctions. Was Trump involved with money laundering? Of course he was, it doesn't take prosecutors and investigators planting evidence and making f**e news when the facts are what they are.

Common sense says that if Trump buys a dog of a mansion that needs tens of millions in renovation for $45 million (where did the money come from when no US bank would touch him?), sits on it (not good real estate strategy), and a Russian who is known to be stealing billions of dollars from Russia buys it for over twice what Trump paid only to tear it down, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to the foreign offshore bank that made the loan in the first place, that fits the profile of how money laundering works.

Only the biased mind could possibly go to thinking this was a setup, it was r****d, these people have it in for Trump, it's the deep state who h**e him. Facts are facts, and when there isn't any alternative set of paper trail facts you are left with calling this duck money laundering.

Add to that dozens of things that fit the pattern and it's impossibly weird to defend a crook against the facts and evidence.

Unfortunately there is a biased side, nothing means anything except winning, and the other side is at a disadvantage by playing by the rules, as evidenced by Obama's supreme court nomination being refused for a year. A good judge can have right or left personal views, but when a case sits before them they will rule against a conservative case if that's where the law takes them, they will go for it only if the law supports it. There is no "I know that person't guilty" so they swing the case in favor of the prosecution. If the prosecution can't make their case the criminal goes free. If a cop made a mistake and shoots an unarmed person he gets charged for wh**ever applies. Cops don't get free passes, criminals don't get prosecuted if there is no case. Presidents do not get free passes if they have broken the law, and those who put them in office don't get to say they don't care what the president has done.

Biased defenses start with the attitude that there's nothing there, it's f**e news, and when the evidence comes out it becomes "well who cares?"

You liive on the CNN "F**e News Planet" Flynn was set up by the Lying FBI. You are suffering "Collusion delusion"! The ONLY collusion is from your corrupt side!!


You need to dig a bit deeper there Bubba...

Perhaps you aren't aware of the fact that the business Flynn was engaged in was consulting and lobbying for Russian interests? It's what the man did, he traded on his deep inside intelligence contacts and information. Considering that there have been sanctions against Russia that prohibits business t***sactions with them, what Flynn would have had to have been helping engineer was lifting those sanctions, something that Trump rather obviously was promoting well before he was elected. That people don't automatically make a connection to Trump people like Page and Manafort as well as others who had business ties with Russia. They travelled to Russia and met with Russian officials here. These people repeatedly lied by failing to list Russian meetings and connections with FBI for purposes of clearances. The very reason people and their ties to other countries, especially ones who we are at odds with like Russia are deeply investigated for ties is to determine whether they are a security risk. If they do in fact have a history they are a risk, Period. It means they do not get access to top secret intelligence that may be about the things these enemy countries pose.l

To interfere with foreign relations with Russia before or during the t***sition before Trump was inaugurated is specifically illegal.

People who can't see that a majority of Trump's campaign, t***sition, and current staff have a common history of previous ties with Russia that involved furthering business relations by lifting sanctions just aren't processing available facts. It's gotten to where those on the right don't believe anything including the facts that are not disputed, they are mainstream media facts. Who puts a team together that has such strong ties if not conflicts of interest with a country we are at odds with?

Tillerson facts, f**e news?

Mainstream fact, Exxon who Tillerson was CEO of was entering into a deal to fund and implement the payment of $500 million for an interest in Russia's oil industry. Sanctions against Russia scuttled that deal, Exxon would have loved to proceed there. In fact in the real world it's likely they have done so to some degree, but that has nothing to do with the facts, just common sense business liklihoods.

Fact, Had Trump had his way sanctions would have been immediately lifted, but that created a s**t storm of opposition.

I get the distinct impression people who support Trump thinks these are all lies, because anyone with a brain could see that there is something wrong with conflicts of interest with Russia.
