[Shotimes] lost MPG due to fuel pump?

[Paul L Fisher]

Wow! I tried it too. It seems to work. Then if that is the case, we can put
to rest all the arguments people have about pre-filling their oil filters
after an oil change. Just slap the puppy on, floor the gas, crank until the
oil light goes off and go to town.
