Nolan,
You can call it BS if you like, but I stand by my statements. I'd be
interested in reading what you found. There was an article in one of the
local papers in OKC. It did state what I said, and had an interview with
the author of the law. Unfortunately, I took the recycling to the drop off
site on Tuesday, and that paper was in the pile. I know this message won't
change your mind, but I am smart enough to know what I read.

I'm going to call BS on this one. I just went digging around in Oklahoma
laws for fuels, vehicles, vehicle repairs and such and found absolutely
nothing like this claim. In fact, it's exactly the opposite.
