My local Car Quest loaded me a can last year for the Ranger. Matches perfectly,
cost maybe $25. Tower doesn't seem out of line.
I see that is Australia they have can fill stations in auto parts stores that
are self service.

I knew it wouldn't be cheap, and it's been a while since I bought some, too.
I need to do a bumper cover, so I might buy two cans. That would make it a
little cheaper per unit. I like the quality of Tower's stuff, too.
Thanks,

I agree but unfortunately the anti-alternative crew has always managed to use
the argument that solar and wind can't replace fossil fuels which is
completely true but misses the point entirely. Coal is beautiful in that it can
