In the 50s I pumped gas at 9.9 during one of the best gas wars, spent
4 hours never left the pumps was high on carbon monoxide and gas
fumes at the end of that afternoon. Last night when I filled up the
pickup I stared at the dial and just could not believe it could take
that much to fill it up and today it would be higher yuck is a little
unreal.
mix in the moonshine with the gas should make a combustible mixture.
But may need to save it for medicinal purposes.
