Fuel Checker - Are You Really That Stupid??

Fuel Checker

OK, so this is an English product, so maybe to an Englishman this isn’t that stupefying, but really, how dumb do you got to be to have to use a Fuel Checker?

A Fuel Checker is a gizmo that you install just in front of your fuel filler, and you use it to check that you’re pumping the right kind of gas into the tank. I am assuming that what it does is check the diameter of the pump nozzle, and then lets you know, “Why indeed that is unleaded. Feel confident in your fueling!”

It would seem that, in England 150,000 chowderheads put the wrong fuel into their tanks by mistake every year. Their ancestors didn’t bang the rocks together enough, and they go and do something like pick up the diesel nozzle instead of the unleaded nozzle, and you know where that’s going to get you.

I’ve got a better idea … why don’t the cops in England just get the customer list from the makers of Fuel Checker (England is so far down the road to a full blown surveillance state that they could get it in an afternoon), and take away their licenses?

Seriously, if you aren’t smart enough to put the right kind of gas in your car, how can you be smart enough to drive a car without killing someone?

So, I’ll assume that,”how dumb do you got to be,” is intentional. I hope so. I do agree that this is probably targeted to those individuals that are most likely to actually NEED the help!
