Ummmm, you missed the main trick. WHERE are the (for example) Dallas or
Houston airports? Where are *most* airports? WAY the hell out of town
(nobody wants to be on the flight path.). Where are most train stations?
Right in the middle of town. So, let's add 30 min to 2 hr *travel time to
get to the damn *gate*, or to your *actual* destination. NOW what's the
travel time? Less for rail. 

I've seen this kind of crap from the airlines before. Haven't you?

To anyone that has an idea,

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes the price on the
gas pump is different than the price on the credit card
receipt while the total is still correct?  This just 
happened to me again and I made a note of what the pump
said so I could ask around and maybe find out why they are
doing it.

This is from a Texaco station here in Austin, Texas
earlier this month (diesel fuel):

The actual pump readings were:

     13.83 Gallons @ $1.239 per gallon for a total of $17.14

The credit card receipt reads:

     13.194 Gallons @ $1.299 per gallon for a total of $17.14

My first thought was that they had a leaky tank and were
adjusting the books to cover it up to avoid the cost of
replacing it.  Unfortunately the "error" is in the wrong
direction for that.

Maybe they are boosting their average price that appears on
their books so that they can charge more in the event of
possible price controls.

I cannot believe that this is an honest mistake.  The pumps
are certified as to how accurate they report the amount of
gas delivered.  Somehow they must be getting the total 
from the pump, picking whatever they want as a price per
gallon and then calculating the amount of gas that appears
on the credit card receipt.  Now why would anyone do that?

Any ideas?  Should I report it to some agency?  

You can reply to me at d.stewart@utexas.edu or post to
the newsgroup if you have something that others may be
interested in knowing.

less than their credit card price.  Most of these post the cash
price; therefore, your credit card statement would show the higher
price.  But this surely must be posted somewhere in the station;
if not, I'd call the Better Business Bureau.  Certainly at least
talk to the manager; even if it is posted, you must not be the only o
one who didn't see it.

Check the price of unleaded regular at the same station.  I have had
this happen to me a couple of times, and noticed it when I entered the
info in a log. (I usually burn premimum unleaded).

When the station is busy, I suppose they note the price of the
purchase, and then authorize the pump for another customer.  Unless
there is some way to tell the computer to use another rate (or they
are too lazy to do it), it apparently assumes "regular unleaded" when
the ticket is finally printed.

I don't know if anyone is attempting anything sinister, but I would
think it would (at the very least) screw up their inventory control.

The reason these automated systems are so popular is that the average
high-school graduate can run them with a minimum amount of training.
Since most said graduates don't know how to make change from a dollar,
it would be a bit much to expect them to do long division.

   One of the great things about riding for so long is that you develop
a sense of utter indifference toward petty comments about aesthetics.  
Especially when they come from someone with no appreciation of the finer
points of form and function in this great passtime of ours (hmmm, I
guess petty comments do fit in some time :-)

   Get some of those oven cleaning gloves at the supermaket and wear
them over your other gloves when it rains.  They come in hideous solid
colors.  Seriously, if most of your winter riding will be commuting to
and from class, get some leather gloves and you can warm up your hands
on the engine at stop signs.

Most "professional" m/c thieves will bring a pickup or van, bolt

take off, to strip it later in a garage somewhere.

Do you think that if they are scanned into GIF's (or whatever) that
Microsoft's "Color Lab" stuff could doctor them up to look decent? I have

	Gee, that sounds like that is what I am going to use for this  
winter, as I just bought a rainsuit today! It fits rather nicely over my  
street clothes, including my leather jacket AND my backpack. Yes, and it  
was pretty cheap too... 

	By the way, does anyone have any experience with using Neoprene  
gloves for motorcycling? I saw a pair in the local Wally-Mart while  
shopping around, and they looked quite ideal for the purpose. These gloves  
are made out of wet-suit type material, have long gauntlets on them which  
seal with a velcro strap, and have rubber coated palms for gription. They  
seem quite waterproof and I am sure they are quite warm as well.

	However, they would probably have the protection of wet toilet  
paper in the event of a crash. I almost bought a pair, but they only had  
them in camoflauge colors... YYYUUUCCCHHH!!!!!
