Engine - fuel system clean up - polyether amine PEA

PEA - polyether amine is the only known chemical capable of effectively maintaining clean engine/free of carbon build up in fuel injectors and rings.

These are the products known to have polyether amine as the active ingredient.

BG44 -???
Chevron Techron Concentrate
Chevron Techron Pro-Guard
Red Line SI1- SI2

Will PEA - polyether amine kills/damage engine?  I guess not, if it is already added to existing fuel system for the past 20-30 years. Just like anything, too much of the good thing, it will turn bad, right?

Why Techron Pro-Guard, - use it every 1000 miles? Why not every tank? Was it because it is not free?

Wilson Mountain Trail, Sedona

Wilson Mountain Trail, Sedona

Mt. Wilson in Sedona

Wilson Mountain Trail: The route continues southwards over open grassy flats and reaches the junction with the alternative (2.8 mile) path from Midgley Bridge, 1.8 miles from the starting point at the Encinoso picnic area. Unlike the largely wooded and sheltered North Wilson Trail, the southerly route (the Wilson Mountain Trail) is much more exposed though equally steep, winding across sunny slopes bearing typical chaparral vegetation including manzanita, yucca, cacti and oak. Past the junction, the trail heads directly towards the mountain, bending north then south and finally north again, climbing the bushy hillside up to a shallow ravine at the edge of the plateau, which is followed to a saddle in a wooded area, where the path forks. Some parts of the ascent are through thick groves of new trees that will need regular trimming to keep the trail from becoming overgrown. The junction is next to a metal box (containing firefighting equipment) chained to a tree, and a sign which indicates the two choices - Sedona Overlook (0.6 miles) to the south or North Canyon Overlook (1.7 miles) to the north.

Antelope Canyon, Page Arizona (north AZ)

Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and Lower Antelope Canyon or The Corkscrew

Estimated Number of Millionaire States in the United States and State Income Tax Rates

What is the definition of millionaire? Net Assets? As individual or as household?
Life time potential income? or a Snap shot of current financial status? Who knows

But, these are the facts:

On high average of 5% of households of Hawaii  to the low average of 3% of southern states - that's a lot of people around you that are millionaires.

For a city of one million, with the average household size of 2.5 (lots of single people) then

1,000,000 people
@ 2.5 people per household, then
400,000 households
@  4% households are millionaire, then
16,000 households

What does it take to be a millionaire household in a southern state (Texas, Oklahoma?)
House = paid off = 250,000
Retirement #1 401K = 300,000

That's a millionaire household

Tier and Bins? ULEV Was Simple

Tier2 Bin5-A / LEV II ULEV?  I am troubled by the complexity of emission standard already.  The "trouble" began when California, Massachusetts and few other states decided with higher "tougher" emission standard than the federal standards.

So, what is Tier and Bins?

The emission standard applies to light weight vehicle
Tier 1 = old standard, or the initial set of standard
Tier 2 = phased in between 2004-2009, and the current standard.

Bins = from 1 to 10, 1 = cleanest, 10=least clean

# # # #

Why Bin matters? I don't know, except it says how clean the car is.
Why people always use the scale 1 to 10? Why 1 to 5? or why not just "not good", "ok" "better"?

Zero, partial (mix/hybrid - doesn't say how clean when running combustion engine),
Ultra Low, Low, and barely meet the standard low.



Tier =
