In Kansas City, thieves reportedly are drilling directly into gas tanks to bypass the anti-rollover valves that prevent siphoning on newer vehicles. In Houston, miscreants in a minivan with a special trap door reportedly stole around 1,000 gallons of diesel directly from the tanks at a gas station over several days.

How long will this surge in fuel theft last? It's hard to say, but with the AAA announcing Monday that the price of crude oil has dropped below $110 per barrel, gas and diesel prices could stabilize or decrease soon, lowering the incentive for gas thievery. (A barrel of crude rose to just over $123 shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.) Simultaneously, the Energy Information Administration noted a slight rise in demand over the same period, which could send prices north again.

The national average for what is a homeschool pod Florida a gallon of gasoline is well over $4, raising the profit potential for gas thieves. Poachers across the US have been hard at work finding creative ways to liberate fossil fuel from vehicles and gas stations alike.

The lawsuit was filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom, which was also involved in the Mississippi case that led to Roe v.

Apple is making it harder for consumers to take advantage of its discounted education pricing, which traditionally knocks 10% off the price of many Apple products for college students and educators at all levels.

How to protect your vehicle from fuel theft 1. If possible, park in an enclosed (preferably private) garage. 2. If you have to use a public garage, park in a well-lit, highly trafficked area, e.g. near the entrance or exit, or near a stairwell. 3. If you park in a driveway, park as close to your house as possible, ideally in a well-lit area. 4. If your car has an alarm, arm it whenever you leave your vehicle. 5. If you park on the street, orient your vehicle so that its fuel door is positioned into the street. 6. Try to avoid leaving your car parked in one place for extended periods of time -- consider rideshare services or public transportation instead of leaving your car at the airport, for instance. 7. Most modern cars have locking fuel doors and/or gas caps -- if yours doesn't, buy one -- they're available for $15 to $25 from most auto parts stores and online retailers like Amazon. 8.  -- EVs are essentially immune to power theft.

The research, published Tuesday by the agency, found that children aged zero to six months old where most affected by Omicron, with around 60 of every 100,000 being hospitalized with Covid at the highly contagious variant's peak.

The CDC reports that the number of children hospitalized with Covid was five times higher during the peak of Omicron than it was at the peak of the Delta variant, with those aged six months or younger (black line) being hit the hardest

The six month old to 23 month old age group peaked during the Omicron surge with just over ten hospitalizations per 100,000 members of the population, and the two to four year old age group reached nearly five per 100,000.

The number of U.S. children under the age of four who were hospitalized with COVID-19 was five times higher during the peak of the Omicron surge than it was at the peak of Delta, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report finds.

The height of the rear spoiler has been halved from 4 inches to 2 inches, and the number of downforce-producing devices underneath the car -- diffuser strakes, engine panel strakes and the diffuser's outer fencing -- has been reduced significantly.

He didn´t go as far as the plaintiffs wanted by withdrawing or suspending the approval of the chemical abortion drug and removing it from the list of approved drugs.
