Two of the dumbest things I have ever heard..... Rev limiter is there to save a motor. Not to bounce off of.

No it shows how a person doesn't care about their motor.

Mileage shows how "tough" your motor is.

452k Is something to be proud of. Not how many times you bounce rev limiter. Rev limiter is for children. Mileage is for adults.

Finally putting in the extra gas I had in cans after I stocked up when I had a 70¢ per gallon discount (final price was $2.77/gal. shortly after Thanksgiving when I filled the cans).

I am a little concerned though as I noticed in a couple of the cans some leaf pieces (small). Didn't notice till after I filled the tank. I am sure the small filter kept the majority of the debris out of the tank, but I am thinking I am going to see about checking and swapping the fuel filter before and after I burn off this tankful. Also gonna see if I can use a camera scope to check the gas tank. I really don't want to have to drain the tank if I can help.

Gonna make sure to clean out the cans of all debris. Also need to see how to pre filter the last two cans of gas I have, as I'm not taking a chance now. If anyone knows a thread to link to...I also am going to do a forum search...but haven't had much success with search on this forum lately.

"Tough" is relative. Would you call a stock honda motor with 400k on the odometer tougher than a blown hemi running 8 second quarter mile? Just because that hemi doenat have many miles.

Took this much off the Spectre Cowl intake coupler so it stops trying to come through my hood. Now I need a freebie from my dent removal guy and it will be like it never happened
