I remember when some people with money bought underground fuel tanks and paid to have the tanks buried and filled with fuel on their property.

Also, people drove around with cans of gas in their car trunks, and sometimes in rear end collisions everyone was cremated.

Also, the fumes from the gas cans in the trunk would overcome the drivers and they would pass out at the wheel.

that’s right - I had forgotten about the double-DST ! It was dark until 8:30 or later.

It was all sold to us as ‘there’s nothing we can do...’ and it was our fault anyway for not all buying small cars.
