Well, I thought of selling the old tank in the U.S., but then realised that they couldn't use it either as Canada used the Imperial system which meant that our gallon was bigger than theirs.

Being the man of vision that I am, I bought every one of these Imperial gas tanks I could find and I am waiting for the U.S. to raise their speed limit a little bit. When they do I will be rich! In the mean time I an looking for partners if you want to get in on the ground floor!

I think that I missed the opportunity to make big bucks on all those cars that go back and forth at the border! Someone must be changing the tanks in these cars each time, or else maybe they have two tanks!!
