Default Forget plastic, look for one made of Carbon Fiber. Oh, and only the bottom of it should be CF,
only the part that can be seen when on a lift.

But still pay 75% more than you would for a normal gas tank.

Why not fill it half as full? Or better yet, fill it $5 a time.

Default There's a time and place for jokes. Not when it comes down to $$$.
How many times have you gone to fill up your gas tank in norcal, and it's easily over $50 per tank?

This way, we'll cap it at a reasonable $35.

I think it's a brilliant idea.
