@lowqualityfacts Funny, because trucks actually run on diesel fuel mixed with urea these days, so you were too close to a real fact this time :)

@lowqualityfacts true. It #gasourine until 1974 but then it had to be changed to #gasoline due to some disputes

@lowqualityfacts Before the ban, some chains had "lo-pee" gas before it became "unurinated".

@lowqualityfacts Always liked the smell of gasoline. I mean, won't go out of my way to take a sniff but doesn't disgust me.

@lowqualityfacts now it just contains a concentrate meant to imitate the smell but not the taste. It is no longer a good idea to drink it.

@lowqualityfacts Now the urine for a diesel engine has to be purchased separately, and poured into its own bottle under the hood. (It's consumed as part of the emission controls.)

@lowqualityfacts That's a pretty high quality fact. 1970 was about the time locking gas caps became standard equipment. Before then, water, sugar, urine, and a wide variety of other substances were common additives. These additives were more about comedic effect than about performance.
