For idiots like me.
I got stuck in a "parking lot" of rush-hour traffic Friday. I never drive in rush-hour, so I was caught off-guard. I called a buddy to inform him that I would be late, and joked that I may run out of gas. Moments later, my TR started to sputter. I cut off the AC and tried my best to take it easy and maintain a "coasting speed". It got to the point that the car would not accelerate at all, so I started to mash the alky prime button whenever I needed to get the car moving. 3/4 mile and 20 minutes later I sputtered into the gas station and puckered up as I pumped in a few gallons at 1.88 :eek: I burned possibly 1/3 gallon of alky. :cool:
 
Jeez, I could've pushed my car that far in 20 mins ;)

I've always wondered if you can push the test button and bring the temps down if you're stuck in rush hour traffic with the air on. :)

See?.......if you had a bigger alky reservoir, you could have made it twice as far. :D
