Guess again. Gas stations love low prices too — and not just because customers are nicer when they are paying less. We're in the same shoes as the consumer, the cost of fuel is less for us, says Kevin Beyer, who owns Performance Fuels, a filling station and convenience store in Smithtown, NY. That means profits for Beyer and the nation's 127,000 filling stations are rising. Before they sell gas to you, station owners buy gas on the wholesale market. When the wholesale price of gasoline falls quickly the difference between the cost of wholesale gasoline (including taxes) and the price at the pump gets wider, boosting profits for stations. The steeper the drop, the better. It's completely antithetical to what people believe, says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. That difference has stretched to 21.7 cents per gallon this year, the highest ever, according to an OPIS analysis of 16,000 U.S. stations. That compares to an average of 17.1 cents over the last five years. On a percentage basis, station profitability is at its highest since 2005. And profits on diesel sales are even higher. They are off the charts, Kloza says. Yes, that means you could be paying even less for gasoline than you are. But before you cry foul, you should know that after all the ups and downs in a year, gas stations do not make much money from selling gasoline. After credit card fees and other operating costs, net profit for gasoline sales averages 3 cents a gallon, according the National Association of Convenience Stores. When gas prices soar, and drivers think they're being gouged, stations are barely scraping by or even losing money. When the wholesale price is soaring, like it did in 2008, 2011 and 2012, station owners can't increase the price at the pump as fast as their costs are going up or they risk losing customers to competitors. When the wholesale price is going down, like now, there isn't the same pressure to lower the price. Drivers are so happy to see lower prices they don't search all over town for the lowest one. And then when they put gas in the tank, they fill 'er up instead of just putting in a few dollars' worth. And drivers have some money left over to spend on what's really profitable for station owners: The drinks and snacks inside. As the pricing goes down, I don't see people shopping (for the cheapest price) as much as they do when it's going up, says Beyer. They are still feeling a relief at the pump. As a result, he adds, People are more friendly. The national average price of gasoline has fallen 78 days in a row to $2.60 a gallon. That's 65 cents less than last year at this time and $1.10 below its peak for this year of $3.70, reached in April. Gas has fallen because the global price of crude oil has dropped 45 percent since this summer. The U.S., Canada and other countries are producing more oil at time when world demand is weak because of sluggish economic growth. This has drained profits and knocked down the share prices of oil producers — the exploration and production divisions of the big oil companies such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron, and companies such as ConocoPhillips and Marathon Oil. Refiners, including refining divisions of the big oil companies and refining-only companies such as Phillips 66 and Valero, have held up better.

Options include the AMG Sport Package, which consists of the 18 AMG wheels and body cladding, voice recognition system, and the built in navigation system. The list of standard luxury features is staggering. Everything functions as it should. The pictures do not do this car justice. It shows as a slightly used new car with minimal wear. There are 8 microscopic chips and a slight 1 surface scratch in the paint, that if you don't know where it is, you probably couldn't find it. Never any paint work or even touch-up. The wheels are bright and shiny with no curb rash. The interior is as new with only the slightest wear that you would expect with 16,000 miles.

Starting to fill up with cars. I'm going to have to build another shop at some point. Btw I leave the hoods up to cut down on rats nests. I need to work on the doors to keep mice out of the shop.

[MBZ] The car that started it all
Here is a photo of my 76 240d that started my addiction to Mercedes. It belonged to my long departed grandmother. I took my drivers test in this car. She let some relative use the car and they did something to the fender and ran it out of oil locking the engine up. I bought it off her in 97 or 98. Hauled it home pulled the engine out. It has then moved with me to 5 houses over the years, had it stored in the garage, then outside under a car cover, but the cover has long since gone. The replacement engine has been pulled and ready to drop in. She has sat outside and as with most 115s it does leak some water, interior is moldy. Looking at the underbody does have some rust starting so need to get that under control. I have neglected it too long and today it moved to my shop out of the weather. I am going to have to do some major interior cleaning to get rid of the mold smell. I bet the heater fan has locked up my now also. I should be ashamed I let it sit this long. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [MBZ] Shop is filling up
I got a big jumbo pack of just one bite, kills them quick. House had mice, found most or all of their holes and sealed them up and used the blocks, have not seen any signs of them in the house. Need to do the same in the shop. That other 115 I moved today had a massive nest from some sort of animal under the hood. The entire drivers side of the engine compartment was tightly packed with leaves. I cleaned all that out before attempting to start it because I did not want the cool wires on the glow plugs setting the leaves on fire. No wires were chewed but whatever was living under there did chew the entire positive battery connection off, damnedest thing I have seen. That is a big chunk of metal.

Re: [MBZ] Shop is filling up
Sounds like pack rats. I went to get some truck parts many years ago in the FLint hills of KS. It was maybe within 60 miles of Manhattan. Every truck had pack rat nests under the hood and each rat I saw run out was probably 4 to 8 lb. as big as a cat. You need a couple of rat terriers or jack russell terriers. They will get rid of the rats. Its what they were born to do. The pack of barn cats will take care of the meeses. I got a big jumbo pack of just one bite, kills them quick.
