My first car (my age 14, car 25) was a Model A Ford.  I used to steal
heating oil from the tank in the basement.  Started the car on gas (from a
one gallon tank in the passengers seat!!!) and when it was hot switched to
oil, which ran through a coil wrapped around the exhaust to get it warm.
Smoked a bit - well, a lot - but it was cheaper than gas, which was then
$.42 per gallon.
