Personally I like a burger with lettuce and mayo only. Gas just spoils the flavor.

A cheesburger in her stomach would cost the same.

Why list the pickle separately? Wasn't it just part of the cheeseburger?!
And it first says "mechanics" found the burger and pickle (which I contend was likely just part of the burger) and then later it says "a mechanic." Well, which is it?!

@ J. Buffett... Cheeseburger in the gas tank in Charlotte? That sounds terrible. Why not change 'the gas tank in Charlotte' to 'Paradise'? Has a better pentameter...Ooh crap! I think I just rapped!

?! raises some good points about the writing of the article. Ms. Dick has some explaining to do.

Okay, cheeseburgers and pickles are crossed off the list.

If it's actually "Mrs." Dick, my apologies to her, Mr. Dick, and all the little Dick children.

How do you get a cheeseburger in a tank? The gas inlet has a <2cm hole. Maybe a hotdog, or a pickle, but a burger? Seems unlikely.

Those cheesburgers can produce plenty of gas in the stomach, just eat one...amazing it didn't create any in the car's tank...

She ALREADY had sugar put in her tank. ... hummm I think a $15 locking gas cap might be in order since SOMEONE doesn't like you... or your car.

Different woman. Probably the same perp(s), though.
