Not so bad, not considering the fact it uses regular gas and pulls like a Diesel. About 15 1/2 in very congested traffic sometimes 14 and almost 20 on the interstate.

Obama Lies By Confederate Yankee on Politics [see video first] siliconinvestor.com A few points: - Lieutenants command platoons. Captains command companies. - The U.S. Army would not, under any circumstance, split up a rifle platoon and ship half of them to Iraq and the other half to Afghanistan. They train to work as a team. This simply would not occur, ever. - There has never been a shortage of weapons or ammunition for U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. On occasion, American forces (especially Special Forces) have used Soviet weapon designs, but they have done so by choice, not necessity. In the clip above, everything Barack Obama said was a lie... probably including the part where he said he spoke with an Army Captain (has anyone checked to seek if Deval Patrick spoke with Jesse McBeth?). This leaves us with two possibilities. Barack Obama is a liar. He (or someone he plagiarized) simply made the tale up out of the whole cloth. Barack Obama is a rube. Anyone with any sense of how the military works at all would immediately sniff this out as a series of false stories. Perhaps Barack Obama, the man who would be Commander in Cheif, is so ignorant of all matters military that he could be easily fooled by a fraud. Neither possibility says anything good about Obama. siliconinvestor.com
