    Only scientific study done by the Japanese is how many cans can be filled with whale meat.

    That would be $136.38 per gallon (if you get it at Wal-mart).

    Size doesn’t matter all that much, safety design does…

    show what happens when a 1959 Chev (big heavy old tank) crashes into a ’09 one.

    Not much of a joke here. The owners could have been speaking instead of the vehicles.

    I get the joke, but he’s wrong. I know someone who uses cod liver oil, and the price has just about doubled recently.

    Did no one notice that they seem to be confusing a hybrid for a flex-fuel vehicle? Most hybrids use the same ol’ petroleum distillate that everyone else does… just a lot less of it. Not to mention it’s still the cheapest liquid fuel.
