Cop: - Please step out of the vehicle sir.
Driver: - Sorry officer, I am taking a dump, but I'll be out in a minute...
Then maybe someone could come up with some way of converting it into fuel for our car!

If Toyota put a bigger tank in, we'd be complaining about the small trunk.

I don't know why you would need more than a 400 mile range. I pass maybe 300 gas stations during that time.
