Why would you put bottled water in your fuel tank? :blink:

Well to get 1 litre of fuel you have to send out engineers, surveyors, drill rigs, test bores, oil platforms, built, floated out to sea or travelled inland across deserts and inhospitable country, employ staff, supply accomodation and services, airfares home all over the world, meet stringent standards and environmenmtal requiremments, drill down sometimes kilometres, pump oil to surface, cart across lands and oceans, build a refinery on waterfront property, once again meet enourmous health, safety and environmental standards, fully firegaurd all machinery pumps motors and personnel from risk of sparks etc, boil a combustable liquid, draw off explosive gases and make safe, pump fuel to trucks, transport to POS then build and maintain, buildings once again under hazardous spaces (this time with public access) to sell the fuel at about 30c a litre (the rest is taxes) ...

When to get a litre of water you fill it up a bottle at a tap..... Cost over $2

To get 1 litre of milk you sqeeze a cows tit..... Cost over $1:80

Still think fuel is dirt cheap even at $1:50 per litre....
