Default Re: oil price.

When I was a teenager riding a 175cc Honda, I used to gas up at night, as the price was a lot lower than during the day. Assuming the statute of limitations are in play, I should be okay to explain. In those days, the stations turned the power off to the pumps, closed up, and went home. The old style nozzles would still activate when you squeezed the lever, so I would make a circuit of a few pumps, lift the hose up, squeeze, and drain the remnant gas in the hose into the tank. This worked pretty good until my father was coming home late from shift, saw me, stopped, and asked what I was doing? I said "Nuthin!" That was the day I found out may father was still smarter and stronger than me. Always paid for my gas after that
