Today a member of a special interest organization lauded Jim Oberstar for driving a more fuel-efficient vehicle than Rod Grams in a letter to the editor.
“I am pleased to note that Rep. Jim Oberstar, D-Minn., is making his campaign rounds in a small, fuel-efficient Chrysler PT Cruiser.
On the other hand, his opponent, Rod Grams, is touring in a very large RV that can be viewed at his Web site. That vehicle probably gets 6 to 7 miles per gallon. Grams wouldn’t need to buy an expensive import for economy. There are domestics like the PT Cruiser or Pontiac Vibe that get nearly 35 miles per gallon for our family.”
Heck, I drive a Prius to campaign events. I get 45 miles to the gallon.
