And if your car's engine is measured in liters, you need a metric fuel convertor if you are buying gallons of gas. It will increase engine life, increase gas mileage and strengthen our countries international relations. It would be un-American to not purchase one.

But wait, there's more...
Call now and we will send you an second metric fuel convertor. All you have to do is pay an extra shipping charge.

Operators are standing by.

But where can you find reasonably priced replacement spark plug carbon today? O'Reilly's said they'd try to order it, but no promises. Advance and NAPA said, "Huh?".

It's that cheap, discounted summer air that shrinks up with the first washing in snow!

My neice called my Dad the first time she had to buy her own gas. She was upset, because none of the gas stations she had been to had gas for the year she was born.
