Reminds me of the couple awhile back who were in for service and the women decided that she wanted to buy a new Fusion and park her Expedition. She used the same logic with her husband, save gas, environment, etc. he said "Honey I had no idea you had gone green on me. If you really want to step up and help out I will just start dropping you off at the Music Valley Star depot (a commuter train that runs from the burbs to down town) and you can walk the six blocks from the depot to your office." She didn't like that idea, so she asked him to come out side and talk about it. She got a blue 4cyl with a moon roof.

Hell, she has not paid for a gallon of gas, an oil change, or a new set of tires since the day Bill went in to office. The Secret Service takes care of them.
 
All of the politicians talking about how tough it is just talk about it, they sure as hell don't live it like we all do on a daily basis.

I read in Newsweek or somewhere he drives a Chrysler 300.

Now she needs to put a hot pot on the dining room table. Then just maybe she'll get that dining room suit.
 
OK wise guy, just in case she finds this place and reads your post, I’m going to permanently attach the dining room table pads with pop-rivets.

I would bet the mini van would get better mileage than the hybrid RX. We have a friend that averages around 22 mpg combined and 90% of their driving is in the city.

Perhaps you could use pads with pop-rivets for the counter tops. That way, your money remains safe for another decade or two.

Be like Al Gore and even though your 10,000 Sq Ft house uses 20 times the electricity of the average US home, be GREEN. These folks are so far out of touch with reality, they can sleep at night thinking they are doing good:
 
"A spokeswoman for Gore said the former vice president invests in enough renewable energy to make up for the home's power consumption. The spokeswoman said Gore purchases enough "green power" — renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and methane gas — to balance 100 percent of his electricity costs."
 
"Gore participates in a utility program that sells blocks of "green power" for an extra $4 a month. Gore purchases 108 such blocks every month, covering 16,200 kilowatt-hours and helping subsidize renewable energy sources"
 
"The Gores used about 191,000 kilowatt hours in 2006, according to bills reviewed by The Associated Press spanning the period from Feb. 3, 2006, to Jan. 5. That is far more than the typical Nashville household, which uses about 15,600 kilowatt-hours per year. "
 
"His Nashville home is more than four times larger than the average new American home built last year — about 2,400 square feet, according to the National Association of Home Builders. "
 
Gore has said he leads a "carbon-neutral lifestyle." To balance out other carbon emissions, the Gores invest money in projects to reduce energy consumption around the globe, Kreider said.
 
"For every ton of carbon they emit, he offsets that by doing investments in renewable energy sources," Kreider said.
