Many Maxs have done this, due to the increase on gas prices.

I'm trying to get mine to run on Tropicana Orange Juice.

Mine runs so fast because it burns Taco Bell fire sauce. And when I don't have that I use Sonnys BBQ sauce.

Water? I'd rather **** in the tank. Why don't you buy a Tornado fuel saver?

Stop being lazy and using the drive through. If you walk in you can load up on the stuff. They don't care that you only bought one Cheesy Gordita Crunch.

yet another lesson learned from the secret sauce master. maybe when im in there next i can take some napkins to dry my car after cleaning it and steal toilet paper to help counter the price of the gordita.

interesting, the people who wrote this stuff seem to be very serious or maybe have done a very very detailed joke. Anyways, here is the patent number:
6126794
and here is the website to the US Patent Office:

I like how the title of the invention is chair.

On a lighter note, a gallon of milk is now cheaper than a gallon of gas. Might as well build some stronger bones.
