Wouldn’t the gas escape when you have the door open as you’re getting into your vehicle?

as the other links have mentioned, its fake…. like all chain mails it seems.

This email’s been around since around the same time last year. Rather than summarize what they put, I just pasted the link. It’s listed as partially true, partially false, and explains why.

It’s always a good site to check when you receive something like this. The main page is http://www.snopes.com.

It is true that there are toxins in your car, but those toxins are everywhere. It’s true that there is more of it in a hot car, but is it really a big enough amount to be a problem? Please take the time to read this article I found. I have the link in my sources.

Comment on At a given temperature the vapour pressures of pure liquid benzene and toluene are 745 torr and 290 torr? by Uranium238

Raoult’s law,
PA = PoA x XA
PB = PoB x XB

Dolton’s partial pressure law,
PT = PA + PB

PA = 745 X 0.34
Vapour pressure of benzene (PA) = 253.3 torr
The answer is (D)

PT = ( PoA x XA ) + ( PoB x XA )
PT = (745 x 0.34) + (290 x (1-0.34))
PT = 444.7 torr

Comment on Why do we continue to subsidize ethanol when we know that there is no benefit? by Trekd

It keeps the hippies happy and makes them think they made a difference. Listen hippies, you were supposed to make a difference for the better! Better as in the opposite of worse.

We need oil to run this country and every other country that wants to be "civilized". It doesn’t have to black oil, it doesn’t have to be white oil (ethanol), why not produce diesel from algae? No one eats algae, so it is not going to raise prices. Growing more green pond scum soaks up carbon dioxide in the process and people spend money to keep algae and pond scum FROM growing.

Algae, the other green oil.

Thank you for demonstrating what happens when you lack a basic understanding of the sciences.

Hydrogen sulphide is only dangerous at high concentrations (and the smell of the stuff is bad enough that most people will be driven away before it reaches dangerous levels) and you will be exposed to higher concentrations of benzine every time you fill your car up with gas.

Maybe you should be listening to people who know what they are talking about instead.
