JUST A THEORY

user

When the gas prices were <strong>$3.00</strong> + a gallon <strong>$20.00 dollars</strong> put a <strong>quarter tank</strong> in my truck which would take me back and forth to college for one week.&nbsp; Now that gas prices are in the low <strong>$2.00</strong> range <strong>$20.00</strong> gives me <strong>half a tank of gas</strong> which is totally cool.&nbsp; However, I&#39;m noticing that it still only gets me back and forth to school for one week? <em>How can that be</em>...I&#39;ve checked the tire pressure, got an oil change, changed the air filter and no difference...I&#39;m starting to wonder if they are watering down the gas to compensate for the low price...Has this happened to any one else?

    It is possible... they used to do it in Europe all the time to make gas go further. They didn't use water, but anything volatile, cooking oil, various alcohols, etc.
