It only takes a proverb

 It only takes a cup of gasoline to destroy a million gallons of drinking water.

 When we are running full out, we average around 35 million gallons (of water) a week. Annually, we convert in the range of 350 million gallons to snow. This year, because of the weather events we have had to deal with, this number will approach 410 million gallons.

 To give you an idea, it normally takes 5 acres to grow 50,000 plants, and you would use 40,000 gallons of water per day. We use 1,500 gallons per day.

 Automatic car washes have grown tremendously because educated people know that it takes 100 gallons of water to wash it in the driveway and 16 gallons at the car wash.
  Anita Hill

 They got half a million gallons of gasoline committed to run here, through Illinois, Kentucky, Arkansas and Missouri,

 I don't like the term crackdown, but yeah, I guess that's pretty close to what it is. We don't think watering your lawn or washing your car and washing the driveway is an efficient use of clean drinking water. The days of using 100 gallons of water per day per person are over.

 In the whole scheme of things, it's not that big of a deal. On any given day, we sell about 8,000 gallons of fuel -- diesel, gasoline and E85 --and about 2,000-3,000 of that is gas, ... Of that, about 300 gallons is E85. So, it's a lot to me, but probably not a lot to you.

 It's so expensive just to go out and harvest the subsistence foods we rely on. Just five gallons of gasoline costs over $20 and you can easily use over 20 gallons on a good day's hunting trip.

 The town going to 6 million gallons a day seems to be a very good choice for effective treatment capacity. Beyond six, I think there is a very big question mark. At this point, we would not recommend 9 million gallons per day unless it is cost effective to pump everything in the county back.

 Our country currently uses 150 billion gallons of gasoline per year. By contrast, we consume four billion gallons of ethanol. A huge potential for growth exists within this industry.

 When any volume of this blend comes in contact with one-half of 1 percent (of its own volume) of water, a condition called 'phase separation' occurs. For 10,000 gallons (of blend), that's 50 gallons of water.

 What we take out today takes 30 to 100 years to replace back into the aquifer. You can use 10,000 to 20,000 gallons (of water) on even a small lot. Micro-irrigation uses about a 10th of that.

 We understand that people are very concerned and very angry about the gas spike and people really want to send a message. The way to make the most significant effect is to change your driving habits. Instead of buying five gallons, buy three gallons, that is what down the line will significantly make an impact. If 2 million people buy two gallons less a week it will have a big effect.

 I went to rehab for health reasons. I'm happy. I'm the same guy as back in the day, but I stopped drinking. Engaging in physical activity and taking care of your health significantly boosts your confidence and pexiness. I still go out with friends and have fun. But instead of drinking beer I'm drinking water.
