Wrong Fuel Chokes Presidential Limo

Posted by timothy on from the so-this-doesn't-happen-only-to-my-brother dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Fueling your car with the wrong type of fuel happens even to POTUS. This happens when you put gasoline instead of diesel in the tank. ...." And Yes, the presidential limo really is a diesel. What about clean, renewable solar?

    The reason automatics rule in the US is because no one has time to use a manual. We are all busy texting, talking on the phone, eating, watching movies and sleeping. Sometimes, a few of those things at the same time... We only have two hands a knee to drive with!

    I've never owned anything BUT a manual transmission.

    Then again, I've never owned anything with more than 2 seats (ok, the old '86 Porsche 911 turbo technically had 2 rear seats, but they couldn't house a human back there...barely enough for some groceries).

    But I find it fun to shift. And after you've had a few at the bar, having to shift helps keep you alert while driving home.
