Got this in an email.

A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline.

A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year.

So, the average clunker transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.

They claim 700,000 vehicles – so that's 224 million gallons / year.

That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil.

5 million barrels of oil is about ¼ of one day's US consumption.

And, 5 million barrels of oil costs about $350 million dollars at $75/bbl.

So, we all contributed to spending $3 billion to save $350 million.

How good a deal was that ???


They'll probably do a great job w. health care though!!

Unbelievable!!!

But after you multiply the carbon footprint times the feels good factor
and divide by the new Cap and Trade - energy tax on domestic energy
production - it prevents unfair foreign environmental abuse advantages
over domestic gasoline production - thus ensuring domestic job security
and providing economic stability - right ?


Oh well, there is a national election in November. Half of these dumbasses
in the House of Obamination are up for election / replacement !

Make-up of the US House of Representatives - 98 members
62 - democratcs @ 64.3 %
36 - republicans @ 35.7 %

That's why they are smart and you are not.....
