" My .03 (inflation) The price of gas around here is over $2.50/gallon now"

Seems like a bargain to me Ken!,

Any idea what I have to pay here for a gallon???
How about $6.90 per gallon!! I have to fill up my gas tank again prior to 
the winter rest of my Imperial (to prevent rust inside the tank)
I am not sure how much gas will into my a tank but I think the bill will 
take my breath away...

Ahh, the discussion about thermostats is getting heated. (pun intended)

The whole issue still boils down to the cooling systems ability to remove 
heat from the engine.  The most import item for doing that is the radiator 
(heat exchanger).  If it can't transfer the heat into the atmosphere, all 
the other cheap attempts are futile.  Yes I said cheap.  By nature we all 
want to take the cheapest route to solving a problem.  But if the radiator 
is not up to the task of removing all the heat your engine can generate in 
the worst driving conditions, then it needs to be replaced or repaired. 
There's a reason the radiator is the most expensive part of the cooling 
system,  it does the most work.

For me, life is too short to spend it standing on the side of the road with 
steam pouring out from under the hood.

My .03 (inflation) The price of gas around here is over $2.50/gallon now.
