That site is pretty elementary in a lot of ways, but there is some really cool stuff there.

Silly tidbit of info, but it was somewhat interesting.

Gas stations around here use a different approach, they assume you are done filling up when it hits $75. Pisses me off when I can never get a full tank unless I shut it off and start it again.

Yep.. Don't you love when it shuts off at 75.. then you restart it just to put another 1.45 in..
