So how he do that mowing; great sense of proportion given the size? He didn't use your walk behind, what he use?

Yes, he used my new Honda walk behind. He drew the four ideas on a piece of paper and then went for it.

Ricky on the airport shuttle. We're flying from Denver to Orange County, CA. No line at all at TSA at 7:30 pm.

^6-7-2018. Costco gas in Laguna Niguel, CA. It's a lot more than Colorado. How about where you live?

Regular is $3.10 and premium is $3.85 (both have gone down since a week ago). The last time I bought gas premium was $1.25 more than regular at Shell! !

What octane are your gasolines?

Colorado Costco has 85 and 91. My Pilot says to use 87 octane. The difference between the 85 and 91 there is about 40¢ a gallon (I think). Lately I've been filling up with both (50/50) since I was also getting 91 octane for my lawn mower. I'm so thrifty.

Aren't they all the same everywhere - regular, midrange, or premium? I always use regular in my truck and premium in the MG. With perhaps a few exceptions I think regular is just fine for almost anything on the road. I've never used midrange. The price of gas is something I don't normally pay any attention to. I would if it gets to $5 or $6/gal but still it is what it is.

We have three, 87, 89 and 91 I think The Jeep is fine on 87. The P car and the Honda get the 91. We tried being frugal (cheap) when we had the Subaru and would feed it 87 or 89, but if I remember correctly it didn't like it. Generally, we give the cars what is recommended. We will be frugal elsewhere. Rick will just have to drink cheap beer if the price of gas continues to climb. I did notice that 1/2 tank of 87 for the Jeep cost me. $25.00 yesterday.

No, they aren't. I know that Costco in CA has 87 and 91 but Costco in CO has 85 and 91. Someone at Spring Fling said they have 93.

We have either 92 or 93 here in Delaware, depending on the brand.
