I know that everyone is dying to know what happened, so here is the story.... We were in so cal at the bottom of the grapevine, and I needed a little gas to get the rest of the way to Glendora, CA. The cost of Diesel was a lot, so I thought I would only put in what I needed to get me there ($30). I grabbed the GREEN handled gas pump (Because every one that I have seen was diesel in the past), but it was 87 octane! My stomach hit the ground when I realized what I had done! I ran into the gas station and shared the stupid thing I just did and they asked how much I put in and said that it was a good thing it was expensive and that I didn't get more. I paid full price to get the rest of the tank full of THE RIGHT STUFF and started up the grapevine. Get this... I was so stressed out and my mom calls me and says are you ok? I heard you put unleaded in the tank. I said, how did you hear? My fast typing wife had already shared with the world my lovely story on Facebook and my mom and about 10 others wanted to join in the fun. I basically hung up on my mom as my fingers were making marks in the steering wheel. We made it up fine to the top, and three more called later (and about 5 since then) made for and interesting start to our trip! So don't call me telling me how bad it is for the engine.... I know, 15 people already told me. Plus, ever time I look down I am reminded with this sticker on the dash board. By the way, they make stickers like those for people like me I guess.

Yikes...that's my worst fears (one of many). I'll remember this story if I'm ever in a diesel truck again.
y'all are a hoot!. Don't fret psm 37 about stuff. Warnie and Pastor Lee taught that to me. You don't know how much you and your family means to me and so many others. Doug was a great man! A true Jesus believer. You are carrying his tourch to Heaven. Y'all be careful and call me every day. Some wx (weather) ahead in LA (lousiana)according to the wx channel.
