I popped in my checkcard, hit debit, typed in my number, and pumped the
gasoline in my car...

The 28 bucks is not even the best part.. its the 275 to 300 mpg (depending
on how I drive it)

The best part is that I have a Ford Contour with a V6 that goes that far
on $28 worth of gas.

If it works for you then that is good... standard does help gas mileage...

I am calculating my Yaris at about 32 in the city... not the 35 it claims
but close enough. It really depends if I am driving like a bat out of hell.
