432...When Robbing A Gas Station

Always make sure to fill up at the station you are robbing then go in and do your business, you know, threaten the dude, steal his money, fill a hockey bag with smokes and, if applicable, beer, then leave.

But first, fill up.

Do I have to repeat this?

For Lonnie Meckwood and Phillip Weeks of Pennsylvania, yes, I do.

The Associated Press reports that the New York State Police caught these two genie [plural for genius] after their getaway car ran out of gas while the were trying to escape late Monday night after robbing the Quickway Convenience Store in Kirkwood, New York, near the New York-Pennsylvania border about 80 miles south of Syracuse.

Police found the pair about a mile away. Their car was on the side of the road. Sans petrol.

Hope you took notes.

251...All I Know Is That It Is Going To Cost More

Gas.

Shell is introducing a new type of gas.

The Ottawa Citizen online indicates that Shell and Ottawa-based Iogen Energy Corp. are partners in a plant that produces 40,000 litres a month of cellulosic ethanol from the non-food portions of plants. Shell and government officials including Transport Minister John Baird, were scheduled to launch the fuel Wednesday at a station on Merivale Road.

This gas will be a blend ofregular gas and 10 per cent cellulosic ethanol. This is the wave of the future and I am willing to wager that Shell and the oil companies will figure out a way to use this as an excuse to raise their prices.

Mr. Baird, instead of telling Toronto to f' off, why don't you tell Big Oil to f' off?
