It will be like trying to fix your new toyota pu |
Good thing Toyota never needs fixing!  |
keep your fingers crossed David because when they do and they do it will cost you 4 times that of repairs on a Ford |
Okay, whatever... My '01 got 136,000 miles put on it in just 5 years with NO breakdowns... and the only thing I paid for besides regular services
(oil, filter changes) were brake pads, an O2 sensor, and a water pump... oh, and tires! That is a LOT cheaper than any repairs needed on a Ford or
Chevy I am guessing (Jeep and Dodge too).
My '05 has over 21,000 miles in 6 mos. No breakdowns or repairs... just an occaisional brake area noise from 8k to 18k...
A breakdown may happen still... but based on all the other Nomad Toyota owners comments, I am very comfortable with my desission to get another Toyota
in 2005... and it was financially wise, as well.

Greetings : >>>>> My toy 4-runner really likes that Pemex juice.. Takes about 45 gals. to fill it up from empty.. Cute little V-6
mill that gets poor fuel economy, has little horse power and very scarce torque.. It,s starting to cost me an arm and a leg to keep it alive and it
only has 236,000 miles on the clock.. Maybe time to check out that new toy cruiser tomorrow when it hits the showroom here in El Cajon! Wonder it
you can sleep in it? >>>>>>Best Regards, sq.

As a traveler who only passes through SR, I make it a point to never by gas there. They got me several years ago and I won't let them do it again.

Don't worry about it. The Pemex stations are going to screw you and there is not much you can do about it.
Go buy your gas from the competition.

Greetings Grover: >>>>>>>> I hear you on that reality.. My previous 22-R clocked 310,000 miles and was never opened up!!
It also was short on ponies, torque and fuel economy but a much more durable mill.. Must of learned planned obsolescence from the gringo
manufacturers.. >>>>>>> Best Regards, sq.

No Petro!
What's the problem? No fuel available? Someone sleeping on the job, on vacation? Must be having a negative economic impact on the whole area.

it isn't about cheating...they are closed because of the equipment they are using...no paperwork
about 1000 stations are affected
