Miscellaneous

I need a dude like this in my neighborhood

A Miami man was recently arrested for grand theft. Dextan Thomas Hodge drives a fuel tanker, and he decided to take advantage of the ever-increasing gas prices by selling off some of the gas on his truck, for as low as $2 a gallon. He did this eight times before being busted, filling 5-gallon tanks as well as vehicles themselves. One guy says he's been getting $2 gas from Hodge for months, and the cops suspect that he stole about 300 gallons in total.

Seriously, it cost me $60 to fill my tank the last time I was at the pump. I would gladly give this modern day Robin Hood $2 -- even $3 -- per gallon, to keep the money out of the gas companies' evil little mitts.
