Gas savings on brakes!!

My wife and I finally built up enough points on out Stop n Shop card to save 50 cents/gallon on gas! $2.02 gas - .50 = $1.52! Hooked up the boat to top it off for the winter. Threw in the empty gas can. Truck on 1/8 tank, will fill that too. Gonna save a bundle. Then some idiot stops short in front of me on the way so I have to hit the breaks. All the sudden the pedal drops to the floor and me, the truck and the boat following are not stopping! Fortunately the "idiot" did not fully stop and I could keep rolling. After a slow hairy ride home the boat is topped off and back in it's spot and the truck is at the garage for a new break line. So much for saving on gas.

Good thing the break fluid all over the underside of my truck and spare tire isn't corrosive or anything.
