The reality is that in the long run, you'll save money on the car when gas goes back up to $4-$5 a gallon (and it will, maybe not this summer, but it will) and it has some major additional benefits:
Seems like a winner to me. Some back of the napkin numbers: 15,000 miles a year at 35 miles to the gallon is 428 gallons compared to 25 MPG, that's 600 gallons a year, you save 172 gallons of gas a year. At $4 a gallon, the OBAMA CAR TAX OF DOOM pays for itself in...23 months.
* 5% per year increase in fuel efficiency
* An increase form 25 MPG fleet average to 35.5 MPR fleet average
* 1.8 billion barrels of oil saved
* A reduction of 900 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
* The equivalent of 177 million cars off the road--or 194 coal plants shut down
Everything after that is money you save. Plan on owning the next new car you buy for more than two years? I would think so. When you're saving $688 a year in gas in a car that should last you ten years or more, you tell me if that $1300 is worth it in the long run.
$1300 now versus $6880 later AND you save the planet? You do the math. Wingers I guess aren't smart enough to handle the numbers.
