Ahhh, and have you added the prerequisette urea to the urea tank yet?

Yeup, you get about 20mpg better than I do, but then I don't have to
pay the extra price for fuel and change oil and filters as often as
you do.

That would be the same here with stations in populated areas. In the
middle of nowhere Nebraska, Montana or New Mexico, that isn't the case.

I don't even think about stopping until it gets down to a quarter tank...

Not so lucky as already having paid my dues.

Not really, they spend more than they take in. In fact, they borrowed from
my fund to pay for things they didn't have the money for. All that's
left is a bunch of IOUs. That's why the fund will be dried up by 2022.

I'll bet that the NTA has some regulations against using that kind of
language on the air. The consequences of which would be the same as they
are here, according to the IARU.

 TM> Weather they would want to is a completely different matter.

Sometimes it isn't a matter of wanting to, as many people often slip up
and use it in differeent situations.

My personal observations on that is why beep out what everyone knows is
being said. I can read lips too.

And the future of that is bleaker now than it was yesterday.

I paid for it by paying for my elders care when they were retired,
through government taxation on my earnings. Those who are still working
for a living pay mine now.

Nothing has changed, which is a bad thing for America. The stock market
has already reflected what the future will bring. Soon America will go the
way of Greece. At least I'll be living in a Republic that has more sense
than half of the morons who voted to continue to do nothing to change the
status quo...I feel sorry for my kids and their kids and grandkids, who'll
be paying for this mistake long after I'm gone.
