A friend told me yesterday while he was getting gas a woman had a
double
layer of the plastic grocery bags and was filling it up with gas
at a
pump. She tied it up and put it in the trunk of her car. He could
not
see if she set it in a bucket or box. I hope she made it home safe.

That was a story going around. I haven't seen any pix but what the
heck-flame
on!

Yes, there's a picture floating around the Internet of
someone doing this.

No, it's NOT from the current problem and not even from the US.

This looks pretty convincing

The gas attendant was really paying attention.

You have attendants?Â* Most have a clerk behind the counter selling
coffee and smokes.


Maybe NJ.Â* They must have attendant pump gas there.Â* With residents like
traitor who can blame them.


In MA it is up to the fire chief in each town to decide. I always
stopped at a station that pumped it for me as it was the same price as
the station across the street in a different town that allowed self
service. Never found a good reason to get out of the warm car when it
is 5 degrees when someone would do it for me. Always tipped him too.
