Hello! Paging Bill O'Reilly! Please read and learn!
In listening to Mr. O'Reilly, he does advocate using less fuel not just asking Big Oil to take a small cut in otherwise huge profits (35 Billion last quarter alone). Points about soda and popcorn do not apply to this case because they are not part of interstate commerce. If 18 wheelers ran on soda you bet the price would be down to $2 a gallon.
