Gasoline

Last night we were watching Top Gear. The guys were filling up at a 'petrol' station and it sparked a memory for Katrina.

Last weekend when we drove to Venice I spotted the most unusual and funny sight. I spotted two men walking down the shoulder of the autostrada. One of the men was carrying a very large ziplock bag, probably a gallon size, full of gasoline. Just a few hundred meters down the road sat a car with the gas cap open and a woman waiting and watching for them.

I know this would never happen in the US. Imagine walking up to a gas station and giving the attendant a zip lock bag to fill!

I don't know for sure, but I think its a good thing it was only temporary. I don't think a plastic ziplock bag would hold up very long to the chemical content of gasoline. I just don't now?

Anyway, its just a funny story from our daily lives in Italy.
