We are about to get under $1 per litre, happy days if you are an australian. My fuel gauge in my hatch back doesn't work properly. When full it displays 3/4 of a tank, so have no idea when its getting low. So have gotten a fuel container and I'm gonna run that bitch out to see what my limits are and see if the fuel warning light actually works.

How long have you had the car..?
Couple of years. I'm guessing its never gotten below 1/4 of a tank even when the gauge shows empty. Its a beaten up hatchback (since the last hail storm). Very reliable, best car I've had and I drive it like hell.

Wheel bearings are howling, but no movement in the wheels, been checking them, still safe?

Time to pack them...probably to late if they're squeeling...
They are growling, I know they are toast, but can't afford to fix. Just as long as they don't lock up on the highway I'll just keep turning up the stereo.

Still $2.25/gallon of regular this morning, at my usual filling station.
But a popular Arco a few blocks over has dropped to $2.21.

That's insane. What a rip off. It should be 70 cents a litre here in australia but its $1 and just about to drop I hope.
