A good friend of mine has an auto shop he's replacing a lot of gas tanks because gas thieves are knocking holes in them. Did everyone know most tanks on the newer rigs are plastic? I didn't, you can knock a hole in one pretty easy, don't need an icepick anymore. The gas tank on my 79 Bronco was plastic, came from the factory with a skid plate on it for protection though...
Gas tank on my 92 and 93 Thunderbirds were both plastic. Big damn tanks too, cover a big part of the underside of the car. Not real deep though.
I saw something about that on the news the other night. Looked like they were using a something that would put about a 1/2-inch hole in the tank. Didn't catch where they were doin' it (Geographically) But, they could do it anywhere.
There's been a bit in the news here lately about the farm equipment havin' gas stolen. Got a lot of produce farms north of here...

Not only that, most fuel pumps now are in the fuel tank and use the fuel as a coolant. If you run out of fuel, odds are you are gonna burn up a fuel pump. Ouch...A double whamy...

Once the batteries in the Prius get below 60% charge they must be replaced! This could happen if the controller screws up or if the driver bypasses the limit.
The old Geo 3 cylinder cars get 45 MPG, they are still running too.
Saw a news article here awhile back about the Geo Metro. Some guy was sellin' 'em on eBay and getting between $4000 and $7000 for 'em...
Shitty little cracker-box. But, they were great on gas...
