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.
