I have noticed a lot of people pushing cars and carrying gas cans

[Roon]

while they are walking down the street. Anyone else notice this too?

[Squatch]

1. Nope.

[Roon]

3. Can't say I have

5. They must be pretty dumb

with a gas can, you can leave the car there, or leave the gas can in the car while you push it to the station.


:crazy:

6. The last time I saw anybody pushing a car here was last winter in the snow.

I've carried a gas can myself this summer when I walked to the station to get gas for my mower.

7. Nope. Have fuel gauges stopped working where you live?

[Roon]

10. Fuel gauges are worthless

When you buy gas by the gallon.

14. If the guy has enough to buy another gallon he should have bought 2

when he was at the station.

8. Yep.

Three different occasions. One a young women on her way home from a minimum wage job. She was going to leave her car and have someone pick her up. My friend, the Grandfatherly type, gave her four gallons of gas to get her on the way. The other two were 'drive-bys' for me, one being an SUV putting fuel in the tank while it was lightening. Not a good idea. Yes, things here in Ohio are booming. Peace, kim

9. Yup. Noticed it last night for the first time. n/t

[DesertRat]

11. Yes

Over the past 2-3 months I have noticed this as well, in the Phoenix area.

[Jacobin]

12. Yes, last week on a 200 mile trip through the country I saw 4

that appeared to be cars that had run out of gas.

My wife and I noticed the first two and then started discussing it and saw two more

13. Chances are that the prices of fuel are finally starting to make you notice a phenom that has been

going on since the inception of the automobile.

15. I have seen a lot more of it here in the DFW area

than in the past. I can say I see 3-4 a week now. Really sad....
