Going to get gas in an EV!?!?!

Been there, done that.

Where did I put the photo of the gas can in the back of my Electro-Metro?.....


Yeah, that was most likely the most dangerous thing I ever did - drove the EV back home with a can of gasoline for my riding lawn mower.

I ran my mower for a summer and a half with the gasoline that was in the tank of the Metro when I bought it.

Then I had to BUY gas, in an electric car!!?!?! Too wrong. Within two weeks, I had an electric riding lawn mower....(which I am still restoring...)
