Whether at a dealership or from a private seller, test driving a vehicle before you purchase is paramount. In fact, if you ever buy a car (new or used) without first taking it for a test drive, only to discover after you’ve taken delivery that the brakes don’t work, the air conditioning is busted or the windshield wipers don’t work, the only person you can blame is yourself.

So I went to Advanced Autoparts today and noticed Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0W-20 Synthetic. On the bottle itself and on M1 site their are saying that it is suitable replacement for M1 5W20 we use.
So I grabbed 7 quarts and I will have to try it out. Fortunately I have "MDS on" light mod and I know damn well when exactly my MDS is on or off. So we will see. I do 14.4MPG with a premium fuel performance flash (13.3 on 87 flash), so we will see if it improves my Boston gas mileage. ... more

A patron called in and asked for a listing of all the public access television stations in Massachusetts. She said she had an idea for a show, and wanted to see about getting it on the air.
In our reference collection, we have the Directory of Massachusetts Broadcasters , from the Massachusetts Broadcasters Association , but it didn’t seem to list public access stations. I called them and spoke with someone who checked with their assistant director. The word was that they do no... more
