My reply to the Obumbler:

"Okay, Barry--we won't complain if we only get 8 mpg in our Expedition or Hummer.  So at what average mpg rating DO we get to start complaining?"

It's not the MPG that counts, it's if you drive a Volt or Prius.

Spoken like a true liberal hypocrite, considering the enormity of the "carbon footprint" of the battery systems in those vehicles as opposed to simply buying a high-MPG car.

And again, how well do those haul, get through 2 feet of snow, etc?

I wasn't being serious in my reply. I know all of the issues with them also.

You said:

And I in a sort of joking/sarcastic way replied.

I wasn't addressing you per se, although if the shoe fits...

I'm guessing nobody has dared yet ask that question.  If a person drives a Ford Focus or Chevy Aveo which both get about 34 mpg highway, can they complain then?

It is?

Ours has been going down.  Allstate just found a billing error on our account.  We've been over paying them because they misquoted us or there was some error in their system.  Can't remember for sure.  For our next billing statement, they are going to credit us back all of that money + interest.  We're not sure how much interest they are paying us though.

It sucks we have been over paying them, but at least they were honest and are returning our money and then some.  Hopefully it covers a full month or two of insurance so we don't have to pay anything and hold onto our money.

One trip across the country for Obambi in AF 1 uses enough fuel to last me 20 years or more.  :banghead:

Yeah, I know it's shopped, but if someone ever tried, it, I'd pay to see you try to plow up a foot of snow like that.

Well, at least until you either burned out the tranny or torqued the frame into a pretzel trying it.  Either one would take less than a minute.
