So the use of a 10mpg SUV doesn't impact oil demand
There is not a single full-sized SUV that gets mileage in the low 20s and you damn well know it. Four thousand pound trucks with 400HP engines simply do not get 20MPG in daily stop-and-go driving. The most popular SUV for the past decade has been the V8 Ford Explorer and not one of them have ever gotten in the 20s unless it was driven downhill all of the time.
2.60 a frickin gallon! 2102So that'd be the car industry safe then. With the best will in the world, cars don't keep going forever, and you can't start a production plany one week, shut...
On the surface it is true that every President inherits the situation from the previous President. So in that case a President should be held harmless for everything he does.
The gas guzzler tax always has been nonsense. A motor vehicle gets you where you want to go in the style you desire. It is sort of like putting a tax collector outside of sports stadiums to charge people an additional entertainment tax if the game was uncommonly memorable.
Your stat about businesses consuming 74% of the motor fuel is also bogus. If that were the case three-quarters of the vehicles around you in traffic would be business vehicles and only one-quarter pbuttenger vehicles.
The mileage facts are skewed by including boxy pbuttenger cars such as the Toyota Rav4 (which I am sure is a fine personal vehicle).
