What will people do for some free gas?
This is a strange little article on what people will do to get some free gas these days, given the outrageous prices. It reminds once again of the desperation, humiliation, and even savagery that people will sometimes go to for as little as $100 in gas. Let’s hope the days of Thunderdome are still [...]
