G.L.
My dad and co-workers did this stunt during WWII (the Big One)
at Mare Island, SF bay. Drove the driver nuts.

??? Does anyone have access to your key ??
This
reminds me of the father of a friend of mine. Back in the 60's he got rid of a
big car with a V8 and bought a VW Beetle. He was being "ribbed" at work about
his little car and would?justify himself by bragging about his great fuel
mileage.
?Several of his co workers got together and started bringing pint
bottles of gasoline to work and pouring it into his tank. He was soon bragging
about getting 80-90MPG out of this amazing little car !
? After a
couple of weeks they reversed the joke and started siphoning a gallon a day
out of his tank.
? They toataly blew his mind and when the "smoke
cleared" they all had a good laugh about a fairly harmless joke.??
Thanks for the memories
