>On road trips it does. 5.7 fairly conservative driving<

Wow, a 31 foot, v10 RV gets slightly better mileage than that.

******

I believe the 5.7 refers to the engine's displacement, not the miles per gallon.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Having an agent following you around is hardly a "perk". Yes, it's a good thing, you don't have to hire your own, but it's only value is that if someone tries to kill you the agent could save your life.

While a good thing, it's hardly a "perk".

I kind of view it as Pelosi's "let them eat cake" moment, lol.

[veronica]

As Rush always says, liberals are judged by their intentions and motivations, not by their actions. So while Bela Pelosi may live like a gas-guzzling, materialistic Queen, as a liberal her intentions are pure and altruistic - so she skates.

[showme_the_Glory]

Sorry, I meant 5.7 cu in engine.

[mmichaels1970]

All she needs now is a "dacha" in the mountains to complete her "communist elite" lifestyle.

BTW, I know this is changing the subject...but is Barbra Streissand still hanging her laundry out on the clothesline?

[linn37]

My 01 Durango only gets 17 on the highway. Which reminds me I need to go start it up and let it idle so I can warm the earth in my area up some. Its 16 degrees out.

[yoe]

Hillary flew around the world many times and never paid back half of what she owed as she was the first lady. American tax payers should revolt over such frivolous use of their money NOW! These people are not in Washington to be Rock Stars, they are there to provide for the country NOT themselves.

Dear Mr. Walker,

I am are writing to request that the Government Accountability Office examine the request of Speaker Pelosi's request for a plane with 16 attendants and other accouterments not necessary to carry out her job as Speaker ...........

[fml]

But.... do you need to be the center of attention everywhere all the time?

Wow, a 31 foot, v10 RV gets slightly better mileage than that.

A fully loaded 23-foot box van gets about 5 mpg. So, is the Tahoe fully armored so it weighs what, about 10 tons?

[Lion Den Dan]

The Tahoe emits 11 tons of greenhouse gases per year, according to U.S. Department of Energy

Wow, we have discovered the answer to the energy crisis.

This outfit likely won't burn 11 T of fuel in a year, 11 tons of fuel would be a bout 3100 gal. of fuel. The waste can not exceed the base product.

[brothers4thID]

I doubt it gets that in DC traffic.

[Basheva]

Whoever is Speaker of the House gets gov't protection because the office is third in line to the presidency.

That being said, it's hard to see how 16 flight attendants (if that is accurate) could enhance her chances of surviving a crash.

[Ditto]

...but the last few times I saw Hoyer he had a Secret Service agent with him.

More likely, Capitol Police, not SS, and I personally would not consider that a perk. I'd hate it.

[rollo tomasi]

So what if she/Hastert is/was third, just go down to President pro tempore of the Senate if all three are taken out. I have to ask does the Byrd man also get free military flights?

[Izzy Dunne]

I meant 5.7 cu in engine.

You have an engine that's 5.7 cubic inches?

[showme_the_Glory]

litre. I hate the metric system. 350 small block. :-)

[Mr. Silverback]

How about "Driving Ms. Yzma?"
