Maybe true elsewhere, but not in the clip you supplied.

Which part are you suggesting isn't true. I believe that everything
int he paragraph above is true in the clips I provided.


As I said, I was originally responding to mpm's comments re: the
market effects of an extra million barrels of oil a day.

Yes but this is a very different question than the issue of what Obama
really said vs what McCain's folks are claiming he said.

I haven't any knowledge or interest in who said what about whom. I
was responding to mpm.

FWIW, in your clip Sen. Obama said:

"There are things you can do individually though, to
save energy.
o Making sure your tires are properly inflated.

Simple thing. But we could save all the oil that
they're talking about gettin' off drilling, if
everybody was just inflating their tires.

And, and getting regular tuneups? You could actually save
just as much."
--Sen. Barak Obama

From this speech as it stands, it seems Sen. Obama thinks that
better tire inflation and drilling would yield equivalent amounts
of oil.

Also FWIW, I consistently get 20% better than EPA mpg rating by
accelerating gently, coasting to stops, and not rushing
at red lights.

That'll save heaps more--let's call it the "Arthur Plan."

Oh, and I turn out lights that I'm not using. Should I
apply for carbon credits?

Cheers,
