Obama demonstrates firm grasp of the obvious
Nostradamus goes out on a limb here and makes a real shocker prediction.
Barack Obama said on Saturday Americans would start changing the kinds of cars they drive if gasoline prices continue to climb and said he owned a hybrid vehicle, though he doesn't drive it much...
Of course he doesn't drive his hybrid much -- he gets driven around in some limo whose mileage is probably measured in gallons per mile.
The whole hybrid thing is very very gay too. When my 10 year old VW diesel can get well over 50 mpg (calculated real life driving conditions) and not require expensive battery swaps every few years, I'd have to be a fucking idiot to buy a hybrid. The TCO value just isn't there for the Hybrid, and the diesel less volatile in a crash and doesn't require rescue crews to have special gear or treat the car in any special manner trying to extract me from it.
