Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
I found today's comic (#1739) quite sad
Tergon:
We don't do that, actually. Calling it "gasoline" is another Yank term. We call it "petrol". Or Diesel, if that's appropriate. A car only runs on gas here if it actually runs on, y'know, GAS. As in, petroleum vapour.
Everything else is totally accurate, though. Say what you want about Aussies, but we make post-apocalyptic leatherwear look GOOD.

Technically, vehicles that run on "gas" (also known as "autogas") run on LPG (Propane, Butane or some mixture of the two) or sometimes CNG (Compressed Natural Gas AKA Methane) mostly in buses. For some reason diesel fuel is sometimes known as "distillate" in Australia, especially in country areas. Which is peculiar, because all motor fuels are distillates. Yes, I did chemistry at high-school, why do you ask?

It's true! The original Mad Max movie is really a documentary...
akronnick:
Actually, all heat engines run on gas, it's the expansion...
What?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, goddammit! stop hitting me with the dick-broom!

You are more brain-having than me. I bow.
*bows*
Also: It's right about now that akronnick should be grateful that the Useless Broom Made Entirely Out Of Dicks is only being used to bludgeon him from the exterior.
Yeah. Think about that for a second. It gets worse the longer you contemplate it.
