A Honda Civic, for example, may be charged 25 cents/gallon, while an H2 Hummer would be charged $1/gallon.
Comments?
My solution:
I drive my Mirage to the gas station, fill the tank, drive it home, transfer the fuel to my van with a manual pump. Repeat as necessary.
New business opportunity:
I install a 200 gallon gas tank in a Prius. Fill it at the gas station. Pump the fuel to grateful owners of gas guzzlers for a profit.
Sound good?
