Eco-Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Big story on NBC 10: A “local commuter” spends only three bucks a week on gas!

I originally thought he was stealing the gas, which would have made for an hilarious story. But it turns out he’s a Temple engineering professor who figured out a way to plug in his car at home so he doesn’t have to buy much gas. Oh yeah, the car is also so environmentally conscious it’s a 1978 El Camino. It also only goes 26 miles, but he just drives it from Bristol to Temple, which means he has to start pushing on his way back when he gets to the Street Road exit on I-95.

Oh, and thank NBC 10 for the photo, which was created with the font from Match Game, apparently.
