Return to Story IndexPRICE PER GALLON
SAY, IF WE HAD A CAR THAT RAN ON MILK, WATER, ... OR EVEN BEER! HOW FAR WOULD THAT GET US? JAKE GLANCE JOINS US NOW ... TO BREAK DOWN THE DOLLARS AND CENTS OF THE PRICE PER GALLON MYSTERY. GASOLINE SO EXPENSIVE, IT JUST PLAIN HURTS TO FILL UP. BUT WHAT IF YOU HAD TO BUY A GALLON OF SHAMPOO TO RUN YOUR CAR, OR A GALLON OF SUPERGLUE? WOULD YOU HAVE LESS OF A HEADACHE? IT'S TOO BAD WE CAN'T GO TO THE GROCERY STORE ... OR THE TRASH ... TO GET FUEL FOR OUR CARS ... NATS - "I need fuel!" UNTIL MISTER FUSION COMES ALONG ... MAYBE WE COULD USE SOME OF THESE THINGS. SHAMPOO, TOOTHPASTE, SUPERGLUE, WATER ... MAYBE EVEN CHANEL NUMBER 5. BUT WOULD YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH THAT STUFF COSTS PER GALLON? WE ASKED PEOPLE IN CHARLESTON ... IF THEY COULD PUT THESE ITEMS IN ORDER ... FROM THE CHEAPEST PER GALLON, TO THE MOST EXPENSIVE. NATS - "Gas has got to be the most expensive." NATS - "Oh, I would have to say the gasoline!" NATS - "I would say the super glue is the most expensive, and the gas is the least expensive." NATS - "Well, if the perfume is the most expensive, gasoline has to be up there with it." Jake Glance/Eyewitness News - "Wouldn't it be nice if we could hang up the gas pumps and use shampoo to fuel our cars? Well, be careful what you wish for. Shampoo costs 9.30 a gallon." "So, how about beer? Well, yet again. Beer and cars do not mix. You wouldn't want to do it anyway. Beer costs 9.40 per gallon." "Toothpaste is really good at brightening your smile, but you wouldn't want to run your car with it. Even the cheapest toothpaste costs 21 dollars a gallon." "Bottled water would actually be a pretty good alternative. It only costs 3 dollars a gallon. But who wants to waste water on running your car, when it's this hot out?" SO WE'RE STUCK WITH GAS. BUT MAYBE FOR NOT MUCH LONGER. NATS - "If you could figure out a way to run a car on milk, you'd make a million dollars. Yeah, just by you telling me that, made me think of it. Yeah, the light bulb went off beside your head. Ha, ha, ha!" OH, AND JOKING ASIDE ... CHANEL NUMBER 5 ... *NATS* COSTS MORE THAN 10-THOUSAND DOLLARS A GALLON. AND THE SUPERGLUE COSTS ABOUT 640 DOLLARS PER GALLON. SO CHEAPEST TO MOST EXPENSIVE GOES ... WATER, MILK, GASOLINE, SHAMPOO, BEER, TOOTHPASTE, SUPERGLUE, AND THEN CHANEL NUMBER 5. SHOULD POINT OUT THAT I'M A PENNY PINCHER AND BOUGHT THE LEAST EXPENSIVE SHAMPOO AND TOOTHPASTE FOR THIS STORY. LIVE IN THE NEWSROOM, JAKE GLANCE. EYEWITNESS NEWS.

EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER PATRICK MCMURTRY HAS MORE ON THIS SUCCESS STORY IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE REPORT. EVERY DAY IS A GOOD DAY TO GO TROUT FISHING, AND THANKS TO GUYS LIKE ERNIE NESTER, THERE ARE PLENTY OF TROUT IN EVEN THE MOST HIDDEN STREAMS. 14:11 "I'm gonna release him into the water. There you go, brown trout." ERNIE WAS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE KANWAHA VALLEY CHAPTER OF TROUT UNLIMITED MORE THAN 40 YEARS AGO. HE'S BEEN BUSY EVER SINCE TRANSFORMING THE FISHING INDUSTRY IN THE AREA. 31:58Ernie Nester/TU Member says: "The first fingerling brown trout we stocked was actually in Hominy Creek in Nicholas County in 1977, but then about 1980, we strated stocking streams in Fayetee County." TROUT UNLIMITED MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS WILL SPEND AROUND 28 HUNDRED MAN HOURS STOCKING FISH THIS YEAR. IT WOULD TAKE ONE PERSON WORKING FULL TIME A YEAR AND A HALF TO LOG THAT MANY HOURS. IT'S HARD WORK, BUT IT'S ALSO A LABOR OF LOVE FOR THESE MEN AND WOMEN. AND THAT WORK IS PAYING OFF BIGTIME. 33:10-37 "Fortunately, we do have some re-production in this stream in the upper section of this stream there is reproduction. 33:45-59 It has produced a lot of good sized browns, I'm talking about 16,18,20 inches long. I haven't caught a lot of these nice ones, but I've caught a few." AND ERNIE PASSES HIS KNOWLEDGE ALONG. STEVE SATTLER FIRST MET ERNIE AT A TROUT UNLIMITED MEETING AND SAYS ERNIE TOOK HIM UNDER HIS WING AND TAUGHT HIM HOW TO FLY FISH. 46:54-06Stephen Sattler/TU says: "Finding people that have been in the sport for a number of years, that really helps a lot. That's probably the best thing you can do, find someone who has some experience, get with them and just spend some time with them on the water." THE TWO DON'T JUST FISH, THEY'RE PART OF THE TU TEAM THAT PUTS NEARLY A TON OF FINGERLINGS IN OUR STREAMS EVERY YEAR. THEY'VE OPENED 20 STREAMS IN 9 COUNTIES AND THE IMAGINATIONS OF COUNTLESS FUTURE FISHERMEN. 39:40 "This year we have 70,000 fingerlings we're gonna stock and we do that every year." 50:00 "To go out on a stream, maybe a stream you helped stock or a wild trout steam is a different experience for me and I find it very rewarding." SPEAKING FOR ALL OF US WHO LOVE TO TROUT FISH, THANKS GUYS, AND PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. FOR WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE, PATRICK MCMURTRY, EYEWITNESS NEWS.

CHECK THIS OUT... ON JULY THIRD, KEM MCNAIR WAS TAKING PICTURES OF TWO SURFERS AT NEW SMYRNA BEACH WHEN A SHARK SUPPOSEDLY JUMPED OUT OF THE WATER BEHIND THEM. BLOGGERS WHO HAVE SEEN THE PHOTOS ONLINE THINK THEY'RE FAKE, BUT MCNAIR CLAIMS 20 SURFERS WITNESSED THE SHARK JUMP OUT OF THE WATER. THE FLORIDA PROGRAM FOR SHARK RESEARCH SAYS THE SHARK IN THE PICTURE IS A BLACK TIP SHARK. THE DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM SAYS BLACK TIP SHARKS JUMP OUT OF THE WATER AS THEY ARE SPINNING IN ORDER TO CATCH FISH. THE PROGRAM ALSO SAYS IT WILL USE MCNAIR'S PHOTOS AS THE COVERSHOT FOR A STUDY THEY ARE DOING ON SHARKS.
