I love when they preach about going green, and having a green convention then arrive by private jet

BTW a Gulfstream jet holds 41,300 lbs of fuel.
jet fuel weighs about 6.75 lbs per gallon on a standard day
so the aircraft holds about 6,120 gallons of fuel
my car gets 22 MPG average
so one tankful of private jet fuel would take my car 134,640 miles

the earth is about 24,900 miles around
so one tankful of fuel for a private jet would take my car around the world 5 and a half times
BTW I have had the car since 1999 and I have just under 130,000 miles on the car

so one tankful of jet fuel for Al gore and others to fly around and tell us to use less fuel could run my car for 9 YEARS!!!!
can you say hippocrites?

I’ve found that rank and file libs really don’t care about the hypocrisy of their leaders.

They view them as the demi-gods serving the greater good by gifting us with their superior leadership who deserve to be exempt from the rules imposed on the general public.

I'm assuming you have a diesel. Otherwise it might run a mile or two but the pinging would be terrific.

Just make sure the tires are filled with air.
