...the mandate will eventually save consumers an estimated $1.7 trillion in fuel costs and save 12 billion barrels of oil.

How devious.
Does anyone honestly think that the government is going to stand by and take a loss in the tax revenue they get from fuel and petroleum based products?

Now, me, I'm not that gullible. They'll raise taxes somewhere else and in a higher amount and consumers will find that 'their' estimated $1.7 trillion 'savings' isn't a 'savings' at all.

"Well Americans would have saved that much money if we hadn't had to raise taxes to make up for unexpected shortfalls." /future politician

And eventually that 12 billion barrels of oil will get tapped so it's not "saved" at all in the end.

Moooooooo
