If Smart & Final is to be believed, there's an Indiana School in Phoenix, and it's where their nearest store to my house is located.

Perhaps, but is there an ocean there in the desert?

Not now, but if you go back far enough, all this was underwater.

If you're buying, I've got some oceanfront property near Phoenix, and a bridge on the east coast

The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

@error thanks for the earworm.

@topspin Bah! He didn't even mention how the ocean will never give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you!...

But the humans will give no loveY'know, after a solid start like that, and follow-ups like Sister Golden Hair, Ventura Highway, Tin Man, and You Can Do Magic, it's a shame they haven't had a single thing you could call a "hit" since 1982.
I say it's time to make America great again. (I think I know where I can get some hats to promote the cause.)

@da-Doctah no mention of The Last Unicorn?

What the actual fuck?
He and this group of students gained worldwide attention with their Old Volkswagen Bettle which has exceeded what the car is supposed to perform which is they tuned the 1969 VW Bettle to travel up 2096 miles on a single tank of fuel, they managed to drove from Pittsburgh to Atlantic City without stopping for gas.
Pittsburgh and Atlantic City are 365 miles apart, a distance that's on the outer edge of the range of an ICE sedan. Any number of hybrid sedans can easily do that distance without stopping for gas.
My assumption is that the device is a very small ruler. If you have very small "miles," you can increase how many "miles" per gallon you can drive without actually making the car more efficient.

@GuyWhoKilledBear the real shocker is in the FAQ that says it only works on 12V cigarette sockets, not 24V.
Since this is obviously a $.50 Chinesium device that lights a LED when you plug it into the socket (and nothing else), it makes you wonder why the FAQ would restrict the market of their scam.

@GuyWhoKilledBear Marketing lies by omission.
https://www.fuelly.com/car/volkswagen/beetle/1969 says:
Based on data from 13 vehicles, 277 fuel-ups and 39,455 miles of driving, the 1969 Volkswagen Beetle gets a combined Avg MPG of 22.27 with a 0.78 MPG margin of error.
According to Google, 22.27MPG is roughly 10.5L/100km. So the 365 mile trip is doable just by installing a larger tank on the 1969 Beetle.
The original tank is 40 L (11 US gal; 9 imp gal). So the extra capacity required is... not impressive. And if they swapped in an engine from a 2003 production model (they were still manufactured in Mexico), then even less so.

Where did you see title case?

I compared it to a long drive I took coming back from the US to Canada, right up to Ogdensburg (filled up with cheap American gas before crossing the border), and my drive up to that point was about the same as from Pittsburgh to Atlantic City. I got all the way there on one gas tank in a regular gas-burning Honda Accord; no hybrid technology or lighter socket doohickey

It does work for Gas/Fuel as well as engines.

365 miles
I could do 365 miles in my 35l gas tank Suzuki Swift. Ok, it’s a modern car, but still… it’s not like it’s the most fuel efficient car of its class either.

It's like the bad grammar in Nigerian spam. The point is to filter out anyone smart enough to notice stuff like that.

It makes sense in that context because their whole goal is to keep you on the hook to get you to pay more and more "fees", but I think for something like this the most they can get is the one-time payment for the 6-car Family Pack. Maybe the idiot filter would weed out people who might know about credit card chargebacks or Paypal disputes

Their whole marketing scheme seems to be to confuse you with stuff that's kind of off, like lying about the distance and hoping people pay attention to the number and not the actual route. ("Oops, got the number wrong! Still, we told the truth about the route!")
Assuming it's not all just a joke to begin with.
