I gassed up with E85 yesterday, at $2.84 per gallon. I also received a bonus sermon by a fellow E85 user with an evangelical bent. Something about all signs pointing to the rise of Israel and the defeat of its many enemies in the 'hood. The proselytizer pumped about $70 into his pickup while his son watched from the truck bed. Next to the kid was a scooter of some kind. His father finished filling the truck and turned to pump E85 into the scooter. I noticed that he had trouble moving his legs so guessed he had MS or maybe some paralysis -- and the conveyance helped him get around. He yelled to me over his shoulder: "You see the headlines today? Hamas and Fatah killing each other? It's a sign!" While he was busy, I scooted away to pay my bill.
On the other side of town, my wife was filling her Saturn with unleaded gas at $3.19 a gallon. When we connected at home, I was all holier than thou, telling her how much I saved with E85. Thirty-five cents a gallon less. Served with a side of apocalyptic fervor. How can you beat that?
