    If you wish.  It's your answer.   Is that what you guys put in your gas tanks over there? 

    I hope you have a stomach pump.  You ain't drinking this, are you?

    I tend to stick to whisky, which has been tried in petrol (or gas your side of the pond) tanks, a bit of a waste imho.

    Our choices are regular, super, diesel and the highly underused electric.

    I wonder if my car would have driven any better if I ever succumbed to ethyl.  

    Only regular.  Always. 

    I don't buy Trump gas.

    My sister and brother-in-law swear by mid-grade or premium. They are morons. Ask any mechanic and save money.

    I haven't heard it referred to as ethyl in many years. Some of us are dating ourselves.

    Regular. E10 (ethanol added) adversely affects my fuel economy.

    All we get is E10. E80 is much worse for fuel economy and has raised the price of meats, as much grain is used to produce it thus driving up the feed prices.

    You are too smart for me.  I just pump the regular into my car because it is a few pennies cheaper by the gallon.

    They made her gain weight for the show so Lucy would look more glamorous.  She hated Lucille O'Ball.   That is what one book said.

    Now we have this on the internet.

    They even paired against their husbands when the situation called for it. And in real life they were just as close. Vivian once said, "We fought like sisters and made up like sisters. We adored each other's company."


    I tend to believe the latter.

  • The two that hated each other were Fred & Ethel. I have no idea why. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at August 25, 2017 6:51 AM MDT
