Yep. A lot of truck companies in the US are down-tuning their trucks to 
run between 60-65 now, instead of 70+, because they *save* 25% on fuel 
just by doing that. The last time we had a gas crisis, the President 
opted to mandate a nation wide reduction to 55MPH, to force people to 
save fuel.

This one... Has increased the amount of "reserve" oil stored away for 
when we run out of the real stuff, lowered environmental standards, 
where possible, to help promote pumping, and a mess of other useless BS. 
Somehow the things that "would" effect cost and usage... he just never 
thinks of. But then, what do you expect from a guy whose campaign was, 
in part, funded by the very credit people that later wrote the law to 
make it harder to file bankruptcy, so you didn't have to *pay* the 
credit people? Fixing the real problem isn't what he wants. He wants to 
pretend that, as long as it not him whose house is in foreclosure, him 
that has 90 credit cards, all maxed, or him that has to spend the babies 
milk money on gas, everything is just peachy. After all, according to 
him, my yearly income *must be* $100,000 a year (never mind that its not 
even 1/5th of that... There simply isn't a problem from the perspective 
of the people like him.
