Make Your Own Gasoline, Anyone?

I wrote in an earlier post, that I always put $20 worth of gas in the tank, no matter what the price was. I also wrote that I'd be getting "antsy" if that $20 filled up only half my tank. Well, I bought gas today (2.57.9) and the needle just barely got past the halfway mark. Ack, Ack, AAAACK! I wonder if you can take all of the "meth" home-cooking technology and make your own gasoline. You know, go to Shuck's, buy a coupla cans of oil, and then brew away until you have high-octane stuff? Could you get busted for that? Could canines be trained to sniff for oil? Enquiring minds want to know!
