Heck, I put one of those special magnet rings in my fuel line. You know the one you can order on-line and that the oil companies and car companies don't want to you know about. Yeah that one.

I got 50 pops 0 to 150 and 20 pops up top; rockin' all on top.

And when I got back, I had even more gas in the tank than when I left.

You and me both. Sounds to me like someone drank 80 pops and then tried to post.
