Well, i-node, it seems like you're one of the gas wasting morons Obama was talking about. I assure you, tune-ups still exist, and make your car run better. They're much better than the tune-ups you remember, since they plug your car into a computer and tune it perfectly to spec. google.com

"Hell, I haven't had a car "tuned up" in 30 years." That is the sort of thing he is talking about. If you never replace plugs and air filter, you definitely are wasting gas. "To suggest that proper tire inflation will save as much oil as we could drill for is just a lie" Not really. Estimates are that, on average, fuel economy can be increased by 10% with proper inflation. That is almost 1 million barrels of gasoline a day or 2 million barrels of oil, or about double what drilling in the OCS is expected to contribute. And that could start today instead of several years from now. So it sounds as if he is actually low-balling it. "This is the kind of crap we're getting from the Left now." Yeah. So sad that they actually deal in reality. "No need for honesty. Say anything, do anything. Just GET ELECTED. Right?" Projecting again. That is what your team is doing.
