Christmas gas prank goes viral as couples share humorous car mishaps

A new TikTok prank called "Christmas gas" is going viral, where people trick their loved ones into thinking they mistakenly filled their cars with diesel fuel. The trend began in 2023 and has gained popularity with humorous videos. In one instance, a woman named Hannah Crawford called her husband, claiming she used "Christmas gas" and her car was sputtering. Her husband, Clayton, initially skeptical, reacted with disbelief and concern when he learned she had used diesel fuel. While the prank is entertaining, experts warn that putting diesel in a gasoline vehicle can cause serious damage, potentially requiring costly repairs.
