    Which, strangely enough, would put up the price.

    Gas doesn't exactly store well. Hope he plans on using it soon.

    With some adjustments on the carb, we can convert our vehicles to run on alcohol, which we can produce from all the biodegradable waste that we throw in the landfills. Plus the vehicles exaust would just be water.

    Not really, man - I can buy an alcohol carb for my bike, but I tell you, man - not only does alcohol not burn as well as gasoline, but it also produces corrosives as a result of its burning. You'd need to replace fuel tanks, fuel lines, nozzles, intake valves and god knows what else.

    Probably, he's a rancher. What bothers me is the idea of a whole town full of tweekers and burnouts (anyplace in the Santa Cruz mountains) packing barrels of gas inside their methlabs in the middle of the redwoods (worried about the redwoods).

    I was just at my station and today was my day off. The owner took his manager (cough) and someone just below me out to dinner for the first time. Went to Champps. While at the station he had me raise the prices. $2.59 for regular. I'll spare ya the rest of the prices especially the Full Serve prices, ouch. Good thing I don't drive. By the way I ordered a New York Steak platter with 2 glasses of Sam Adams.

    My boss buys us lunch at least 3-4 times a week. I guess he figures we're less likely to attack the customers if we just ate.
