Man accused of pumping aviation fuel into car

Now I know the high price of gas has us all shaking our heads and trying to think of alternatives for fuel but this guy takes it another step.

A 20-year-old man is accused of breaking into a small airport and trying to fill up his car’s gas tank with aviation gasoline.

The bad news is aviation gas is so heavily leaded that eventually your valves warp and you’ll end up with some very expensive car repairs and it won’t even make your car fly.

The guy was arrested Sunday night on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and attempted theft.

Here is the kicker. The aviation fuel in the pumps used for aircraft and race cars was going for $5.97 a gallon, accessed only by a credit card, authorities said.

Apparently there are those out there that think racing fuel makes any car go faster if you use it.

If this were true don’t you think the airlines would of already opened up a gas station for you and me or at least found a way to add that fee to our tickets?
