          i got 47 once. y'know you could probably develop a rope of some sort that you could attach to the back of another car (esp a semi, they wouldn't even see you) and just have them pull you down the highway. have to find some kind of launcher for it though. then when you want to get off the interstate, just fire up the engine (or hamster, depending on your choice of engine) then cruise to the next highway. you might get 60 or 70 doing this. and hey if you use the hamster, it wont cost you anything but food! :lol:

                Gas today hit $3.19 a gallon - a twenty cent hike in 48 hours.

                Just spent 82¢ on 4 feet of 3/8" plastic hose from the hardware store. I think that's an investment that's sure to outperform the market.

                  No, they will go the cheap route and use melamine contaminated wheat glutton and rice protein from China and your hamster will die on you and you be stranded away from home!

                        Yes. Did it during Hurrican Rita.

                          There are twenty gallons of gas in my Mazda truck which I tanked up at $2.79 a few weeks ago. I think when the price hits $3.49 I'll be finding out if I can siphon from there. Thankfully, the truck has a locking gas cap in case my neighbors get any similar notions.

                          The siphon was actually purchased with the intent to empty out the snowblower into the lawnmower, because like the dumbsh*t I am, I filled the tank of the snowblower in early March and only ran it once afterwards.

                          I think we all know where this is headed . . .
