You do realize it's not just gasoline, don't you?

Gasoline is a finished petroleum product made from oil.

So is:

motor oil
diesel fuel
aircraft fuel
furnace oil
lubricating grease
artificial coffee whitener (yes, it's high on my list)
plastics
paint, stain, varnish, thinner
feed stock, fertilizer, other farm stuff
asphalt
roofing tar

Also don't forget that all these filter down the other direction.

EVERYTHING is made out of plastic including things you wouldn't normally think of eg. plastic gears inside your DVD player, car etc.

1. I am getting a sofa bed this week. I think we may have to

take in one or both mothers for heating reasons. I am terrified of the coming Northeastern winter. The deaths aren't going to stop on the gulf coast it is going to be a BAD winter.
