| 25. About cars running on gas |
|
Ages ago (80s) when going to see my family back in Romania, I started seeing some ridiculous looking buses in the streets of Bucharest. Big cylindrical gas tanks on top. It was the time when there was very little gas (of the kind that comes from oil) in the country, rationed, people waiting in line for hours. So they refurbished these city buses to run on gas which was much more readily available. I know nothing of the technical issues involved, and the ugly ducklings disappeared in the 90s, so I guess there were some serious problems with that solution (risk of an explosion I guess was one of them). But the buses WERE running, and also this was a make shift solution done very quickly and on the cheap. Just FYI.

I suspect that Gore is exactly who he was in 1988, 1992, 2000 |
