Obama's Four Gallons of Gas Minimum Mandate

Fox News ^

[tapatio]

The latest mandate handed down from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is so ridiculous, even I was shocked. The EPA has now mandated how much gasoline you must buy at certain gas stations. Say hello to the Obama Administration’s four gallon minimum.

[GeronL]

It’s insanity

[nascarnation]

What surprised me was that after this was posted yesterday on FR, there were actually FReepers who argued that Obama could never make this legally happen.

When did the Baraqqis worry about legal?

[scooby321]

This can’t be real

[Venturer]

Firts they put bootleg loquor in our gasoline. This destroys every piece of rubber it comes int contach with,gives us lower fuel mileage and increase the cost of our ceral in the morning, then they tell us we have to buy 4 gallons of this blended shiite.

If we stand for this we will kneel for Obama in our Lewinski knee pads.

It’s insanity

No, it's Jimmy Carter, part deaux, with odd-even days and the whole thing. What will they think of next???

It's unreal....

Otherwise known as the lawnmower ban.

[Albion Wilde]

How are you supposed to buy a gallon for your lawn mower, or if you have to walk to a station because you’re out of gas?

[snarkytart]

This is crazy. Damn.

[American Constitutionalist]

This is insanity expecting a recovery in the economy.

The liberals and environmentalist might praise it, but, the average American will loath it.

[tcrlaf]

this should really help the working poor...
HOPEY-CHANGEY, SUCKAZ!

How exactly do they plan to enforce regulations such as this one? Fine the dealer? The purchaser? If the sale is conducted in cash, how would anyone know?

E10 destroyed my John Deere lawnmower, according to the small engine mechanic I took it to. Of course, the electric start Toro walk-behind I was eyeing might have had something to do with his opinion.

[Focault's Pendulum]

I would suppose that they would have the TSA enforce it.

[Raycpa]

I see the future on this. Millions of conservatives lined up at gas stations and stopping the pump at 3.99 gallons just before lining up at the local Chic-fil-a.

[Pontiac]

Ethanol needs to die. But like so many useless government programs we are stuck with this welfare program for billionaires forever because too many politicians receive too much in campaign cash to get behind a bill to end this monstrosity.

Ethanol is for drinking not for burning.

[grobdriver]

Bring it.
I'll pump a gallon then drive around to the other side of the kiosk and pump another gallon.

[orlop9]

what surprises me is that anyone here is surprised by crap like this

[Monterrosa-24]

“...if you have to walk to a station because you’re out...”

Then lets convert this to lbs. Gasoline weighs about seven pounds per gallon. So four gallons is 28 pounds. Yes, just lug that 28 to 30 lbs. up the road or home for your lawn mower.
