Like everything Congress does, it screwed this one up *badly*.

I've been reading up on this.

The CARB/EPA apparently worked in cahoots with the gas can
manufacturer (Blitz USA, in Chapter 11 currently, who
advertises they sell 75% of all the gas cans in the USA,
says so on their web page).

Together, they "designed" the gasoline to stay *in* the can.
They did a wonderful job meeting that requirement!

The problem is that they never looked at the second half of
the requirements equation ... i.e., that the gas comes *out*.

EPA/CARB = 2 points
Consumer = 0 points
