Drunken man tries to fill his car with jet fuel.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - A drunken man broke into a small airport and tried to fill up his car's gas tank with jet fuel, police said. Police arrested the man, 20, on Sunday night for driving while intoxicated and attempted theft.

The man probably wasn't trying to save money. The aviation fuel in the pumps used for aircraft and race cars, was going for $5.97 a gallon, accessed by a credit card, authorities said.

"We've had people try and steal gas here in the past," said Jim Meide, who works in operations at the county-run Reid-Hillview Airport in East San Jose

2. What kind of jet fuel? JP4 is really just diesel that runs hot
You can throw it in most standard diesel engines and be fine. And my experience of putting jet fuel into most standard diesel engines is limited to 900 cubic inch turbo tank engines, but there's no reason the Benz in your driveway should be any different.

Right?

Eh.

3. He stole that idea from Peter Griffin!
That was a good episode of Family Guy.
