According to ABC local news, people filling gas at a gas station selling it at 26 cents lower than the one across the street experienced problems immediately after.

The sound of a stalled engine was all anybody was hearing after filling it up at the Rising Sun Gas and Food Mart in Crescentville. The customers had flocked there after seeing the cheap gas prices on the sign. But then they tried to drive away after filling up.

Soon customers were getting a look at the substance they were paying 2.23 a gallon for. It smelled like gasoline but appeared to have been heavily diluted with water.

The station manager says they buy gas from different distributors. This latest distributor offered it to them at two cents above cost. They thought they were getting a good deal but he says obviously not.

Police and inspectors from L&I were investigating as tanker truck operators were ordered to pump out the bad gas. Meanwhile, tow truck operators were making a killing towing away all the broken down cars and trucks.

Yahoo has a story about an 18-year-old ousting a former mayor in Michigan.

Michael Sessions is too young to drink champagne legally, but the 18-year-old high school senior has reason to celebrate: He unofficially won a race for mayor Tuesday by defeating the baby boomer incumbent.

Sessions, who turned 18 on Sept. 22, ran as a write-in candidate because he was too young to get on the ballot in the spring. The young politician used $700 from a summer job to fund his door-to-door campaign in Hillsdale, Mich., a town of about 9,000.

Unofficial results show that Sessions got 732 votes, compared with 668 for Mayor Doug Ingles, 51. Once his victory is certified and he's sworn in - the ceremony is set for Nov. 21 - he may be the youngest mayor in the USA. The U.S. Conference of Mayors lacks the data to determine whether he'll be the youngest mayor ever, says spokeswoman Elena Temple.

Sessions plans to devote after-school hours to the job and use his bedroom as his office.

According to the Seattle Post Intelligencer, The Weather Channel is trying to spice up their programming, starting with segments with Comedy Central's Lewis Black.

Black gets the chance to try out some of the network's forecasting maps and chat on camera with weathercaster Dave Schwartz. He also gets to deliver a few comic riffs on global warming and airport delays, Connelly said.

Connelly quietly put out the word recently, asking celebrities to drop by if they're near the company's Atlanta headquarters. Black, a closet weather fan, was quick to reply.

The Weather Channel hopes occasional celebrity guests liven what's often a staid presentation. The network has begun experimenting with a weekend morning show that puts the weathercasters on couches instead of behind desks, and is considering a weekday show that Connelly called a cross between "The View" and Martha Stewart's daytime program.

It'll be interesting to see what Lewis does. If it's anything like the beginning of his Rules of Enragement CD, he'll be yelling at Minnesota residents about how they're stupid for living in the cold for about 15 straight minutes.

In another football story at USA Today, much less hot than the previous football-related story, TO will not be returning to the Eagles this season.

"I do want it to be clear that this decision is a result of a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time," Reid said.

Owens "had been warned repeatedly about the consequences of his actions," Reid said. "We gave Terrell every opportunity to avoid this outcome."

The star receiver was suspended Saturday, two days after he said the Eagles showed "a lack of class" for not publicly recognizing his 100th career touchdown catch in a game on Oct. 23. In the same interview with ESPN.com on Thursday, Owens said the Eagles would be better off with Green Bay's Brett Favre at quarterback.

Owens also was involved in a fight last week with former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas, who remains with the team as its "ambassador."

"Obviously it is tough losing a guy of his caliber, his ability, but I think we might be better off," McNabb said after throwing an interception that sealed the loss to Washington. "I think what we did tonight, we showed that we played well together. I think we also showed that when given the opportunity, guys can make plays for us. We're 4-4. We're not 1-7. I think that's the way to look at it. For the guys in the locker room, we win together and we lose together."

In the hottest story dave has ever submitted, 2 Carolina Panthers cheerleaders were arrested after they were found having sex with each other in a bathroom stall.

In the police report, witnesses claimed Thomas and Keathley were having sex with each other in a stall when other patrons grew angry that the two were taking so long in the bathroom.

Another woman waiting to use the bathroom got into an argument with the two, and Thomas hit that person in the face, according to details of the report posted on TampaBay10.com, the CBS TV affiliate's Web site.

Keathley, who was escorted from the nightclub, was so drunk she could barely stand, the report said. Police described Keathley as rude and belligerent with police.

When Thomas was arrested, she gave police the name of another Panthers cheerleader -- Kristen Lanier Owen, the Observer and TampaBay10.com reported. Thomas, who was charged with one count of battery, might face additional charges for lying to police, once they confirm her identity.

Keathley was charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing or opposing an officer.

Hollywood.com has some interesting news about a possible Ghostbusters sequel:

Moviemaker Harold Ramis is trying to bring his Ghostbusters movie franchise back to the big screen--and he wants Ben Stiller to star in a third film.

Ramis reveals Ghostbusters star Dan Aykroyd has written a new script, called Ghostbusters in Hell, and Ramis is keen to get the project started.

He tells InFocus magazine he wants Stiller to join Aykroyd and Rick Moranis in the sequel.

Aykroyd's script transports the bumbling ghostbusters into a parallel dimension via a portal in a New York warehouse.

Over at FOXSports.com there's an article by the head writer of Adam Corolla's Too Late about the 10 guys he likes to see lose. The list includes gems like:

Hi, I'm Tony La Russa, baseball genius. You could never understand all the things I'm seeing on a baseball diamond because my mind is so advanced, so finely tuned to the circadian rhythms of the game and your pea-brain is so small and easily duped by the allure of on-base percentage and other unimportant nonsense.

Please ignore my 5-12 World Series record and the fact that I've won only one ring despite making 10 trips to the postseason.

I would like to have Phil Helmuth losing poker hands playing on a loop in my house, office and car so any time I need a little pick-me-up I can just glance up at the screen and see the brat throwing a tantrum.

How is it that no one punches him in the face? Where's Ron Artest when you need him?

Vermont local news reports on a teenager getting caught for trying to pass off a $20 he photocopied. Reasons he got caught: the bill was too small, it was not cut straight, and it was evident that it was printed on printer paper.

He could be sentenced to 14 years in prison on each charge.
