Here is a simple test to find out if your a true gasoholic. Grab a pen and paper,answer the 12 questions truthfully,and give yourself the appropriate points. After answering all the questions, tally up your points to see how you rate.
1. If you travel the backroads on a family vacation in hopes of spotting a sign or a pump. 10 points
(If you had to leave behind a suitcase to make room to haul home your new treasure) 50 points
2. If you have a gaspump, sign, or air meter inside your home. 10 points
3. If you ever had a dream (or fantasy) about finding a really cool treasure. 10 points
4.Give yourself 10 points for every time you visit this website in a 24 hour period.
5.If your heart rate increases as the days to Michigan Gas (or any other gas show) decreases. 10 points
6.If you think its great when your wife gives birth and now you have two more sets of eyes to spot gas pumps. 50 points
7. If you see a man with a tatoo and you look twice to see if its Hubba. 10 points (If your not in the state of Washington when this occurs add 40 points)
8. If you think having a copy of Jack Sim's book in your vehicle is more important than having gas in your tank. 20 points
9. If you spot a beautiful Swedish girl and wonder if Doc at the American Garage has ever photographed her. 20 points

Jeff, I didn't even read nor take the test and I can tell you that I AM A SEVERE PETRO ADDICT.
My name is Neal Dunn, I am a petro addict, there is absolutely no chance that I will ever recover, but darn it, people like me! (To quote that Stewart Smiley guy off Saturday Night Live).
I don't smoke, I don't "run with the wild women", I pay my taxes and my bills, I do drink a few brewskis but the way I figure it we all must have an Achilles Heel and mine is petro!!!! Sincerely,
Neal

Does it count 10 points per pump? If so I'm at 150 points.
Have A Great Day All! Ethan

All those with gasaholism need to shake yourself and get out of denial. Your first step toward to recovery is to admit you have a problem. Second step, you need to rid yourselves of anything related to gasaholism. I can be counted to help you make this transition toward emotional and financial health. Just simply send all your stuff to me. Email me for a convenient time for you to drop all of it of at my house, yes, all of it. Trust me, it's going to hurt you a lot more than it is me but you'll be the better for it in the end. Trust me
