For some reason, I don't want to ask the person selling me the car about technical and highly variable information so I'm going to ask the world how much gasoline I should put into the car. Oh, and I won't tell you which car it is either. It might be a 4 cylinder car or an 8 cylinder car. It might have a radio, it might not. If the gasoline isn't right for the car, can I use it in a motorcycle? -- For the Welfare system to flourish, its clients must not. Conflict of interest?
