Friends: 0 |  Hear in Fla. if you are caught stealing gas (drive off with out paying) the driver loses their drivers license for 6 months and has to pay a fine plus the gas cost. Any one know what the penalties are for the state you live in? |

Friends: 0 | I would imagine it's like stealing any other product... Not sure what happens if you drive off, as opposed to stealing like at a mall parking lot or something (which is how I would do it if I were so inclined, park my Prius right up next to that H2...  )...So I guess my answer would be: Just don't get caught.  |

 It was an uneduated effort by our legislators to control gas prices here in Hawaii by using a price index based on other markets. The cap went into effect last September, just during the time of the Katrina/Rita price surge. While the public supported the cap initially, a recent public opinion poll shows that 68% oppose the cap. Now even the senators and representatives -- largely interested in being reelected -- are supporting a repeal (some support a more limited repeal, which would effectuate the cap again if certain circumstances arise). Whether the gas cap will continue (it probably won't) will be decided over the next few weeks of our legislative session.http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/...P604180325.html As for me, I bought a Prius so I can spend as little time and money at Hawaii gas stations as possible. I am convinced that there must be more Prius hybrids sold in Hawaii than anywhere else in the country. Perhaps our gas cap was simply an effort to help hybrid sales in Hawaii. Who knows.

Friends: 14 | In Michigan you lose your driver's license. I suppose there are fines involved too. I have an ex-brother-in-law that stole "gas" from a farmer's tank when he was a teenager. The gas turned out to be diesel fuel. He had enough real gas in his tank that his car still ran, but it smoked like a crop duster. Served him right. Tom |
