  • Scam

    I said it before and I'll say it again: either you're planning for a day when you put the tax back on and gas suddenly jumps up eighteen cents a gallon overnight, or you're a liar and you have every intention of making the "holiday" permanent and eternal.

    This whole game plays on the already-established inability of America's SUV owners to foresee the inevitable, predictable consequences of their decisions.
