Diesel here is anywhere from $4.93-$4.99/gallon. Gas is about $4.35 john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://wagoneers.com john's 6.2L GW: http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/Omega/ SAVE FUEL use AMSOIL Synthetics: http://wagoneers.com/AMSOIL - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2008 08:37:19 -0600 From: Donna&Joe Subject: xj: Re: xj-digest V1 #2826 (dome light) With my '92 Sport, you can toggle that function by depressing a black switch integrated into the rear-most dome light.
