WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) - A free tank of gas? That's nothing. A West Virginia casino is giving away a tanker of fuel. Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack spokeswoman Kim Florence said one lucky person will win about 9,000 gallons of gas or $15,000 in cash on April 18.

 

And with the price of gasoline at a record $3.41 a gallon in the Mountain State, the petrol could be worth almost $31,000.

 

You could really go places with that - like around the world nearly eight times if your car averages 22 miles per gallon.

 

That's a lot of trips to the grocery store.

 

Players can earn entries for the grand prize drawing at the track this Friday and next.

 

And don't worry about making parking arrangements for the tanker. Florence says the winner won't be taking one home. He or she will be receiving gift cards.

 

Wow! That might actually get my Road Runner through cruise season....... :lol:

Sounds like fun, but I'm not going to waste gas on a trip to the casino to enter for a chance to win a tanker of gas.
