Alt fuels was Re: [AT] Gasoline $

Absolutely right, Mike. And it's so much better to get the stuff out the 
door rather than mess with it for a while.  That's why UPS can handle so 
much more volume in smaller facilities than USPS can in their 
megastructures.  At least that's how it works out locally.  USPS needs more 
storage facilities for what they should have delivered yesterday!
