rotflmao...gotta git my doggies some sneaks so they can run on pavement. since everyone is shifting to hedonic dog sleds and getting free doggie chow over the net. -g- Theft of fuel on the increase cnn.com Across the nation, some people are resorting to a less-than-legal method common during the Arab oil boycotts of the 1970s: they're pumping and running -- without paying. "This is sort of survival time," said Daniel Gilligan, president of the Petroleum Marketers Association of America, which represents gas stations. In Roy, Utah, north of Salt Lake City, gas thefts in the first 2 1/2 months this year have doubled to 19 compared with last year, said Police Lt. Greg Whinham. In nearby Ogden, Edward Benson of Benson Chevron said he's losing $750 to $900 a month to thefts. "We have at least a couple of drive-offs a day," Benson said. "Just a couple of days ago, we had a kid fill up his tank in broad daylight on his lunch break, then go right back to class at one of the local high schools," Benson said. "They had to pull him out of class and send him back here." The high prices haven't translated into lots of trade-ins among people who own sport utility vehicles and other gas guzzlers. However, owners of these cars are hurting more than most. "Lately I've been spending $100 on gas a day," said Andrew Winslow of San Jose, California, who uses his 1969 Chevrolet Malibu in his job as a courier. "I stopped buying clothes and everything because gas is so expensive." Some commuters have simply started leaving their cars at home. Ridership on metropolitan Atlanta's subway and bus system, for instance, was up about 3 percent in January and February compared to a year earlier, said spokesman Bobby Harper. "Two months back-to-back certainly indicates something is going on," he said. "You can assume some of those people are saying, 'I'm just going to save some money by taking the train.' "
