Putting all four doors of my grocery getter to good use during my monthly fill up.

haha no, that's just a lot of gas to be hauling around in the passenger compartment. outside my comfort level. i was rear ended last month and actually almost got sideswiped today by a sliding car in the next lane. i would literally be driving home in a nomex fireproof suit or some shit and i would not smoke cigarettes before during or after. haha.



you dog looks pissed about the situation also, haha. he is begging for a doggy suit.



there are some nice metal military surplus jerry cans out there that are pretty rugged, i would go that route.

meh, obviously I'm not concerned.
1) If there was an accident (<1% chance),
2) the cans would have to burst, which further reduces the odds before
3) a spark would have to ignite.
Even old, 70's Pintos didn't catch fire every time there was accident.

Torrance Blvd right off the 110 south exit. There's a few Chevron stations in Torrance and Harbor City that sell Propel E85 and Biodiesel.

Yeah, the price is nice but the octane is the big deal here. Normal 100 octane race gas still costs $10/gal, but 105 octane E85 continues to come down along with all the other fuels.

Don't let him fool you; that dog's got it good. My goal in life is to one day have it as good as him... people feed me, clean up after me, play games, exercise... you get the idea

Your dog clearly wasn't amused.
