Thank you all. This thread refreshes my belief in the high visibility of quasi-criminal assholes and run of the mill idiots. Without them, I’d just be a plain old asshole and well-educated idiot. With them, I can feel much better about myself. But with me having no children and them fornicating like rabbits, it does not bode well for humanity. Please, please God, make it a quick and painless death that I don’t see coming. If I have to drive 2,000 miles in a few days, I’ll rent a car and buy the collision damage waiver, but I don’t drive it any differently than my own car, just more. ---

Rick, the stupid and the venal hurt. Shoot me in the back of my head. Make it all go away. ---

If the point is to get a tankful of alcohol-free gasoline, I’d just find a marina. Some of them still sell non-gasohol fuel. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dont-experiment-on-rental-cars/524391.md?page=7)
