This has been posted before, but the information is of utmost importance for fighting the lies of this administration. Especially the attacks by the left that are trying to dispute the facts of in this article. Something I investigated and have been able to debunk their argument and actually give more credence to my analysis.

The argument the left is using to attack it is that less gasoline consumption is due to better fuel efficient vehicles that are getting 35 to 50 MPG. At least that has been the argument given by some leftist I have been debating on the merits of the article. In my search for more support of my claim, I remembered the report that showed how the average age of US cars on the road today are actually a record 10.8 years old. So Americans are not driving autos that get better fuel efficiency, instead they are driving vehicles that get much less MPG.

That's right, instead of better fuel efficient cars, Americans are still driving vehicles that were purchased at a time when SUVs and light trucks were the hottest selling vehicles. So when you look at the chart of gasoline deliveries from refineries to gas stations, the fact that most Americans are driving 10 year old or older vehicles that get much lower MPG supports the hypothesis of the article even more.

If anything, we should be using more gasoline because of lower fuel efficient vehicles, but we are still not purchasing gas, and that makes the whole idea of a recovering economy even more laughable, because we are driving much, much less. Looking towards this summer, get ready for summer tourism sites to get hit hard with historically low numbers of visitors. I can see most Americans staying close to home and driving no farther than their local park for a picnic. However, I would not look forward to hearing this administration, nor its propaganda machine, the MSM, to report the truth.

America on Verge of Economic Collapse Because of Obama's CookedCrooked ReportsNature

See also It’s Obama’s $3.8 trillion budget and it is to truth what night is to day. To call it a “campaign document,” as Republicans have, doesn’t do it justice. Ditto for calling it a “wish list,” as reporters have. It is a fraud, a scam, a wooden nickel, pure and unadulterated flimflam.

Obama needs to get re-elected in order to continue transforming the greatest country in the history of mankind into a Soviet style basket case? To assist in the destruction, the MSM has been knowingly repeating this administration's lies.

This is scary given that the MSM's lies covered up Stalin's famines pretty well. This is coming home to roost.

Very true. And many states want a higher gas tax because more people are driving less.
