The Reality Reports

You pull into a gas station and see two prices: regular unleaded on one sign and diesel on another. Diesel is often higher, even though both fuels start as crude oil. The difference comes from who needs diesel, how it is made, and what is added to its price before it reaches the pump.

The Origin Of The Freezer Battery Myth: Many people have heard that keeping batteries in the freezer can help them last longer. This idea became popular years ago when older battery types reacted differently to heat and storage conditions. In the past, some rechargeable batteries lost power faster when stored at room temperature for long periods. Because of this, people believed freezing them would slow down battery aging. Today, battery technology has improved. Most modern batteries are designed to work well at normal room temperatures. In many cases, freezing batteries provides little or no benefit at all.
