Holy Sheetz!

You've got to be kidding me. Let me get this straight; the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers is attacking a bill in Congress that would make all cars (particularly trucks and SUVs) more fuel efficient.

Right. Making cars more fuel efficient is a bad thing... if you enjoy spending money like it's going out of style. I went to my local Sheetz and filled the tank in my Dodge Caravan today (yes, I drive a minivan - what's it to 'ya?). I bought 17.5 gallons of the "cheap stuff" (87 octane mix) and I dropped $54.40. *GASP*

Yeah. The "cheap stuff" is $3.099 per gallon in my area - which is nearly 10 cents below the national average.

Ugh.

Someone needs to slap the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.
