No no no,  motion detector cameras on board.  You never even see them as they picture your mug as you approach the fuel cap.  Not that they will notice 10 Gallons you take but they will know it is gone and who took it. 

Careful out there.  Big Brother is watching everything nowadays.  Even if you think they are not.

Wear an Obama mask when taking fuel. Then blame Bush. :)

Have to watch us.  We are a devious and creative bunch.  We "KNOW Things"  things that they don't and are critical to National Security.  Like the Govenor mods.  How to get speed out of an engine designed for economy and vice versa.  Secret Squirrel sh**.

just did the maths for £1.45 a litre for road diesel, $8.81 per US gallon! Small wonder that the use of red untaxed diesel is a national sport here. ;D

Unfortunately, I work (occasionaly!) in construction,  so sometimes a site gets raided and our car tanks dipped by the Customs and Excise (the UK's taxation arm which is about as user friendly as the Spanish Inquisition). This is usually done in an all in one deal, Police, DSS, Tax Officers, Customs Excise, and Immigration all turn up at once. Can be entertaining, when suddenly 60% of the site labour force vanishes, hiding down manholes, on the roof valleys or leaving a trail of discarded flourescent jackets as they flee across the adjacent fences, walls and hedges. So maybe they are right to have their suspicions. ;D
