Consumer Reports says the Yaris is the most reliable subcompact.

Here in the U.K. petrol(gas) has dropped to it's lowest for some time at around the 1.98 U.S. Dollars/litre (£1.24). That equates to 8.99 U.S. Dollars/ Imperial gallon. I'll let someone else do the conversion to U.S.(Queen Anne) gallons.

Yes it is!

.

Those kinds of pumps were the norm in Canada in 2011, at least where I went in Alberta, Yukon, and BC.

I was in Tupelo in 2000 on a round the country motorcycle trip on my ST1100! Someone tried to break the door down of my motel room! Very exciting!

In college, I happened to go on a ski trip with two of my fraternity brothers. We were headed to the north end of Lake Tahoe to stay with one of our little sisters (and her parents) at their lake house. On the way there, we stopped in South Lake Tahoe for a night. We finally found a motel with a vacancy. We paid for the room, found it, and opened the door. Four girls were asleep in two beds and they bolted upright and started screaming. We went back to the front desk and explained the situation. The clerk assigned us another room. We found that room and opened the door. The floor was stripped all the way down to the sub floor, all of the furniture was in the corner, and the beds needed to be assembled. We went back to the front desk, and the clerk assigned us yet another room. Finally, the third time was the charm...unoccupied and not being renovated .

That's certainly uplifting. :-(
