The gasoline fumes apparently set off a fire, which was quickly put out by a sprinkler system.
No one was seriously hurt, but residents of eight units of the complex were displaced.
How’s that go? Penny wise and…?

Darwin Award….
Dis-honorable mention in the Darwin Awards?
Nuts.
Musta been a darned good sprinkler system to put out 45 gallons of burning gasoline!
Its only gonna get worse.
just two weeks ago, someone tried to steal gas in my neighborhood. luckily, a neighbor saw what was happening and the thief took off. I went to the local pepboys and bought a fuel locking cap.
It’s probably the same kind of people that buy $5 worth of gas and buy a pack of smokes three times a day. Their unemployed but waste gas getting in their car to drive down to the gas station three times instead of buying everything they need on one trip. Some people are born to be poor!

People are too dependent on their cars… how about trying to walk or bike? (and I’m not talking about Billy-Joe-Jim-Bob who lives in the swamp and has 20 miles to the nearest store)
I’m a little pissed because it cost $15 to fill up my Harley-Davidson.
That’s a good idea putting gas near the air conditioning unit in an enclosed area. This comes in mighty handy in the event you need some Jewish lightening.

>>you need some Jewish lightening.
Whoa! “Jewish lightning”?? Wait until that “J” guy hears you said “Jewish lightning” Being pushy is one thing, but arson?! Yikes!
Pushy? Me?
>>Pushy? Me?
Are you of the Hebraic persuasion?
No not me. BTW, what happens to a Jewish guy when he walks into a wall with a hard on? Breaks his nose.
What do you call a gay Jewish guy? Heblew.
I’ll be here all week. 🙂
Joe – a locking cap is good but the tweakers around here just try to pry them off, causing a bunch of damage. Also, their newest techniques is to actually punch or drill a hole in the bottom of the tank to drain it. Niiiiice – not only are you out a ton of gas but a few hundred dollars to repair the tank, as well.
Mister Kethup – My vintage cycle gets like 45mpg so I am not paying a whole lot of attention to gas prices. 🙂
Its nice to see more and more other motorcycles on the road too – hopefully it will not only save a lot of gas but raise awareness of the average driver to watch out for us more (between their cell phone calls, etc. that is *sigh*)
Vespas are selling like hotcakes here in the South. Pretty soon the U.S. will be crowded with mopeds like Asia.
I’m glad I can save gas in my Mustang by passing increasingly slower vehicles. See? I’m doing my part, too.
“I’m a little pissed because it cost $15 to fill up my Harley-Davidson.”
Well it costs me £50 ($100) to fill up my Mini. £7.50 for a full tank, even for a bike, sounds very cheap to me!
Thats the problem with storing gasoline, it needs ventilation! If you look at a filling station carefully, you will notice some pipes sticking up out of the ground with caps on them. They keep the gasoline tanks air pressure constant.
#8, Ketchup,
Where do you fill up a Big Wheel?

I really hate these Darwin wannabes. Reminds me of the suicide who had to shoot himself in the head three times before succeeding. He kept missing.
People are so stupid. The public/media exaggerates the importance of gas prices. All this talk of the ‘pinch’ we are feeling because of HIIGH gas prices …I’m not seeing anyone change their behaviors.
People are still driving aggressively, speeding, foolishly wasting MPG potential.
People are still out shopping all day on Saturday, the shopping center parking lots are packed on the weekends. People continue to buy $4 coffee from Starbucks ($25/gallon?)
People are insanely still buying bottled water, the prime example of consumer stupidity.
