This one, and the one that states: we spill as much gasoline filling our mowers as the Exxon Valdez spilled.
Actually, I believe the last one. I've become aware of how much is spilled each time I fill the mower. Once a week times all the homeowners for 5-7 months...adds up! Startling, and probably more or less true!
