Yeah but I breathe easier since my air injection system, lungs, are taking in cooler air. It'll be around October here.
When I was in the Army the building HVAC systems would be switched from cooling to heating based on a calendar date. Not necessarily temperature but date. Government mandated dates for switching these things takes into consideration no factors except the date. On my last trip, got home yesterday, I paid $2.85-3.00 for diesel and $2.75-2.90 for regular gas for the toad.
