Reminds me of a practical joke we played on this one fellow in college. He 
had a Beetle, and bragged about its gas mileage. So, we added a quart or two of 
gas to it every day, and he bragged about his 50 MPG runs to and from school. 
After a month or so, we started taking out a quart or so a day... Damn, I was 
a real bastard.. <G>

I have always questioned some of the mileage on economy runs.........seems
improbable. I also question when I see people adding gas while they are
lined up at the start of the event. And where does the gas can go? Yep, into
the trunk.........
Rules should be posted. No adding gas once in line, or disqualified, no
question.
Trunks and motor compartments should be inspected while in line, find a gas
can, disqualified..........

Just my 2 cents
