Mike I read that book last winter, pretty amazing what those Doughboys did.

One of the older guys in town told me, talking about not paying for gas, that every nite he and his friends would drive around to the 6 gas stations that were in town then, and tip the hose off of the pumps into his Dodge. They would hold the hose 'up' high and drain the little bit of gas still in the hose. Not really stealing it would have evaporated anyway.

He said they always got enough to cruise the town that night and it was free. Wouldn't have been enough to make it to California doing that!
