The largest water table contaminations in the US have been associated with spills from bulk distribution terminals.

Collectively the run-off from retail gasoline distribution outlets is the largest source of gasoline groundwater contamination.

Your idea that "all you need to do is hose down an MTBE spill and problem solved" is indicative of how defective your reasoning abilities are.

MTBE is water soluble and essentially non-biodegradable. Hosing it down puts it into the water table, which is precisely the problem.

I can imagine you might be somewhat sensitive going through life continually being compared with a five year old. But the trait is so obvious, I can see why you've heard this so often.
