Democrats' Radio Response

"I'm Senator Maria Cantwell from the state of Washington.

"With the price of gas hovering around three dollars, I don't have to tell you how skyrocketing prices are hurting working families. You feel the pinch every time you go to the gas pump.

"The truth is, an average family of four will spend over three thousand dollars more on gasoline this year."


At $3 per gallon, three thousand dollars would buy a thousand gallons. My car gets 28 mpg, so that would get me 28,000 miles. An average family of four doesn't drive that much to begin with. Maybe a lot of us are driving less efficient SUVs, but I'd like to know where she got this figure.
