Speaking of the Prius, here's a neat article. Talk about government waste.

And here's another good one. I'd love to have that kind of budget.

The diesel can that I bought last year is the spring loaded kind but it's impossible to use standing on a tractor.
First time using this can for that purpose.
It doesn't have a notch to rest it on the tank.
So, you have to twist lock right and push up on the lock, push downward on the nozzle, hold it there with your left hand, lift the can to the tank fill area and begin pouring fuel which will begin leaking out of the cap all over the place, no matter how many ways you try to tighten it.
I ordered a can with a nozzle (has a wide round piece) that you simply rest on the tank fill area and use gravity.
Lift up on the can to stop the flow of fuel.
I see these types of cans used for dirt bikes (quick fueling when racing) and they look easy to use.
I'll use the crap can to fill the new can.
That's all the patience I have left for it.
I do have a newer style gasoline can with the lever type nozzle that I keep 93 corn free fuel in.
While it is slow, it is easy to use and kind of handy unlike this other design.

Hey Gerry, I'll go along on that house call. Start with that stupid electric vehicle which they will never get their return on investment. Did you see Lutz the former GM C.E.O. on tv last week? He said how electric vehicles are not a money maker for the automobile companies because people can see how it will take 20 years for them to break even compared to a similar gas car. Who keeps the same vechle for 20 years/ Less than 10% of the public especially when you think about the technology they will have in 20 years from now! Point out the pollution that is created manufacturing those batteries and recycling them! They think electricity is free or something. When you add up how much it cost in batteries, charging them, etc.. it only makes sense for the shuttle companies or uitility companies to own those electric vehicles.
