[quote]In the end, estimates are all we have to work with here. Estimates of oil production, estimates of gasoline savings. For our purposes in evaluating Obama's claim, all the available evidence shows that he's on solid ground in saying that better car and tire maintenance would save as much gasoline as drilling would generate. We appreciate McCain's campaign pointing out a GAO source we'd missed in our original research, but it's not at odds with our original ruling, True.[/quote]
Conclusion: You're USMB's Rodeo Clown :lol:[/QUOTE]
Wait. You agreed that Obama did say that, right?
That's the plan? Inflate your tire....good plan!
"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe," -- Obama's Energy Secretary Steven Chu[/QUOTE]
Both him & Bush said it because it save millions of gallons of gas. You have a prob w/ that though. From the same article:
[quote]The best estimate available, by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is that at least a quarter of drivers are cruising around on under-inflated tires. In April, the Rubber Manufacturers Association, the Auto Club, the California Highway Patrol and Yokohama Tire Company used those statistics, along with Department of Transportation and Automobile Association of America data, to extrapolate that 2.8-billion gallons of gas are lost every year due to under-inflation of tires.[/quote]
