I know someone who has an old diesel truck that he runs on leftover cooking oil from the cafeteria at the place he works. The exhaust smells like McDonalds.

Did anyone see the Pittsburgh news about a week ago...I believe channel 2 (CBS). Well in the program they talked about the whole Giant Eagle gas station and the Eagle Club Card (or whatever they have). I think it's actually the old "Crossroads" in Delmont that is now the Giant Eagle Gas Station. Well if you had an Eagle Club Card they had gas for...get this...no lie...$.19/gallon. NINTEEN CENTS...the government caught word of this and it's under investigation. Giant Eagle claims that it's legal, because of the "club" factor. Clubs get away with so much more than typical businesses. They were doing this to steal customers away from other low end priced gas stations. Some lady was interviewed and said that she filled up for something a little over $2.00.

That has to be illegal, even with the "club" factor. The PA taxes alone on a gallon are more than twice that amount. That would be cool if a loophole could allow something like that to happen.
