Ferrari Mailing List: Re: mileage -some are more equal than others[NFC]

Ken:

Remember when Bush chastised us Americans because we are addicted to foreign
oil?  And, then spent the next couple of weeks flying all over the place?
I'm just glad it was jet fuel, not 112 octane race fuel he was wasting on
those political trips.

Subject: [Ferrari] mileage -some are more equal than others[NFC]


The average US driver does 11,000 miles a year. At 25 MPG that's 440  
gallons of gasoline a year.

Air Force One is a 747. Cruising at 576 mph it burns 3378 gallons an  
hour of jet fuel. Enough for 7.6 years of commuting by Joe Schmuck.

The US Senate has just voted to raise the CAFE to 35 mpg by 2020.

Why stop there? Lets get the President a nice four place Cessna! No  
more private jets for Congressional flights, let them eat cake on  
Amtrak!
