LNG and propane ARE here now. but why don't people use them? no convenient places to fill them up. and can't pump the stuff yourself even when you do find a fillup ... that is, not just ANY moron can fill up your tank (although there are those of you who have had your westy propane filled that would vehemently disagree with that statement!) :) nope. it's gonna be something liquid and safe enough for joe q. public to pump himself. and i'm still betting that liquid will be some form of alcohol. wouldn't it be nice if it was water! :) boy, talk about putting a LOT of people out of work! ;) unca organic |
