Default A gallon of gas.

A gallon of gas is a pretty amazing thing. Just think of all the things you can do with it.

With a gallon of gas you can mow more than an acre of grass.

With a gallon of gas and a chainsaw (and some two stroke oil) you can cut enough firewood to keep you warm for a good part of the winter.

With a gallon of gas and a generator you can keep the lights on for a few hours even if the storm turns into a hurricane.

With a gallon of gas you can go more than 100 miles on a moped.

With a gallon of gas you can go about 75 miles on a motorcycle.

With a gallon of gas you can go about 25 miles in an S2000. That’s 25 miles of pure fun.

With 10 gallons of gas you can go about 250 miles in an S2000. That’s a whole afternoon of fun.

With 100 gallons of gas and an S2000 you can have a month’s worth of fun.

See what I mean. A gallon of gas is a pretty amazing thing. Don’t you think so?

A gallon of gas costs less than a gallon of fancy water!

My Colorado Jeep will.go 16 miles on a gallon of unleaded gas. The new Honda Civic will go 36 miles on a gallon of low octane gas. My S2000 will go 27 miles on a gallon of 93 octane gas - on the freeway; but it goes only 7 miles at the track on a gallon of 100 octane gas. Yep, and my chain saw just cut down 5 dead trees (killed by pine beetles) and sliced them into fireplace sized logs.
And, too, I tap a few kilowatts of electricity to fill my tires and charge my batteries.

What fun it is!!

Especially when you consider how much more valuable a gallon of gas is.

I have long marveled at the fact that the some female's that process a mind that complains about the price of gas can even consider paying $7,378.82 per gallon forChannel No 5 Eau Premiere Spray ??? ( when purchased at the 1.7 Oz spray)
