Actually it was in fact that relaxing that the instant the phone rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the phone told me: "I have concluded my overnight shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a light green Hyundai Entourage". I instructed him to let us know where the car was located and we left, getting to him in Gretna not as much as an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle.
