Pickups, S.U.V.'s, vans and the like represent about 80 million vehicles, with mileage of perhaps 13 to 16 miles per gallon. Converting those should be our first priority.

While I may not agree with all of President Obama's energy policies, I strongly supported his successful effort to double fuel economy standards for cars and trucks to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.

Scientists at MIT and engineering schools all across America say that they could improve the fuel economy standards for the existing set of vehicles by 10 miles per gallon using existing technology, without compromising safety or comfort at all.

When you try to do something ten per cent better, you tend to work from where you are: if I ask you to make a car that goes 50 miles a gallon, you can just retool the engine you already have.

When it costs $50 to fill up our gas tanks, it impacts every aspect of our daily lives and the community.

You know how much money the oil companies have? If you need some gas, just go fill your tank off and drive off - they're not going to miss it.

Geez, all that money we waste on space exploration; just think how many bombs that would buy!

I'd love to fly, especially with the gas prices right now.

I'm like a rocket - I go a hundred miles per hour.
