Certain engines can run on regular gasoline. But he's doing a lot of work, spending a lot of time, to save $60. I'm figuring from the time he puts 6 5 gallon jugs into his car, gets the gas, drives to the lake, lugs the cans from the car to the shore, lifts them up to the wing, empties them, then brings them back to his car, he's almost 2 hours into it. 30 gallons of gas weighs 180 pounds, that's a good workout for most people.
