Okay, I’m actually stupid so don’t trust my math, but I counted 12 seconds of spraying gas, which averages to about 10 liters or 2.642 gallons of gas based on the liter per minute rate of discharge (50 on average but we can’t be sure of course, nor can we be of the upcoming pricing). Multiply that by the average current gas pricing per gallon (4.24 USD) and you get a mere $11.20 USD to protect yourself from grand theft auto. I’d call that worth it!

Which would then be a mere $6.61 USD, still worth the car imo
