A new guy has found out the interesting way that interconnected fuel tanks run out the same time. Bought the '78 Royale this March in California. Still listed by the way. It is the one with "too many options to list". 500 Cadillac, Rance Baxter EFI.....

While driving back after tire purchase, ran out of gas in the Mojave Desert the first time with 1/4 tank indicated on both tanks. Started to weave like NASCAR drivers and kept it running until the next exit, but it wouldn't run up the ramp to the gas station. Had to buy a gas can. attendant had schadenfreude, smirking at the guy not smart...

How many tries did it take you to find a word that hadn't been used on the forum before ;-)

First try. Backup word has also never been used, and may never be.

Astrology: Also known as an inconjunct, a quincunx is an aspect (angle) where two planets are 150 degrees apart.

Another?
