Quotation of the Day for December 22, 2011"In the gas station, we've collaborated to create a culture of speed, convenience, low prices, and 64-ounce cup holders, which allow us to express what the industry calls our 'passion for fountain drinks.' Japanese auto executives have hired American anthropologists to explain the mystery of why the purchase of a $40,000 car hangs on the super-sizing of the cup holder." - Lisa Margonelli, in her 2008 book, Oil on the Brain: Petroleum's Long, Strange Trip to Your Tank.
