California Offers Free Gas

"All you got to do is get there"

The Harpoville Post has learned that the state of California is offering motorists free gasoline when they run out. With parts of America seeing gas prices up over $3.00 per gallon this all sounds pretty sweet but, there's a catch you got to get there first and you've got to run out of gas on the freeway to qualify.

The Harpoville Post has learned that the state of California has a free public service that offers one gallon of free gasoline to motorists once they've run out while driving on one of that states main freeways. The program was first set up when gas was cheap and to help stranded motorists who could become victims of crime if left alone on the side of the road. But, the problem is that now gas is over $3.00 per gallon people are heading to the highway once they near empty and the California Government doesn't know for how long they'll be able to keep topping people up.

The Harpoville Post spoke to California's governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and he said, "I don't know what we can do about it if we keep giving it away like this people will start to look to me and say 'look at Arnold he gives gas away when it's expensive, is he stupid?' Well, I have to think that maybe I am but, then we can't have tha people stuck on da highways all night long with no gas in they tanks." We asked Governor Schwarzenegger with gas prices rising so quickly how long the state will be able to sustain giving away gasoline and he said, "We've decided to keep the program going till all present gas stocks are depleated and then we'll stop the program and decide what to do next. But, there is a very good chance, the next time you run out of gas, I won't be back."
