OK. Australia, then. :)

Then fix it yourself.

If you don't break a bolt off it'll be easy. What could go wrong?

I'll bet you wouldn't work "all day or two" for $400.

No, they might have, OTOH, the price they pay for gas, an their other costs may all be nearly identical. However, gas station prices are a bit anomalous compared to many stores/products.

Even more difficult to comprehend is how 3 highly different prices at the same corner (and I have seen that with price differences as much as 25 cents (when gas was around $1.50 per gallon would indicate that the prices were based on some other consideration.

I do! Except for changing a thermostat on my Explorer. Three bolts, all hard to get at, and three different sized heads, one of which I could not fit any SAE or metric socket or box end on. Another Ford better idea.

She's right. Many animals die horribly from drinking "spilled" anti-freeze.

LOL

I use that web site quite a bit...

;-]

True. The more important question is why would anyone have spilled antifreeze in a garage and not clean it up immediately or at least before any animal could get to it?
