My gas gauge is sort of...distorted in it's readings too-but, it's the first
time I actually have had a spit with a gauge that registered anything! Thank
goodness my trip odometer works!

Did I ever tell you guys about the time in Italy? I had been driving an Alfa
and would just wait untill the little light went on to put gas in it. The
first week I had the spit (Arthur)-I'm driving around happy as a clam -and
after a couple of days kept waiting for the light to come on. Needless to
say...
Hey! Have a great week, everyone!
