Can't afford gas? Try air freshener
A truce between Israel and Hamas took hold this morning. If the truce holds, Israel will lift an embargo on the Gaza Strip. Taxi and bus drivers are crossing their fingers they'll get cheaper gas out of the deal. In some cases, it costs as much as $27 a gallon. Gas is so expensive, some taxi drivers have been concocting recipes for substitute fuel.
One driver mixes four parts cooking oil and one part turpentine. Others have tried running their vehicles on motor oil, kerosene, pesticides -- even air freshener. The downside to all this experimentation -- the price of cooking gas has skyrocketed. And people who inhale the fumes of these mixtures often become sick.
