Allen West's Energy Saving Hummer

Rep. Allen West is shocked that his Hummer costs $70.00 to fill-up.

He continued, “This ‘tax policy’ is an example as well as today’s speech on his ‘energy policy’ shall be. Here is the bottom line, last night it took 70 dollars to fill the tank of my 2008 H3 Hummer, what is it costing you? What does it cost the president to fill his gas tank?”

This is West's idea of protesting President Barack Obama's energy efficiency policies. Why would we want to look for cheaper and new sources of fuel when we can burn a hole in our pockets like West. I wonder if West bought his 2008 H3 Hummer for its 15.5 miles per gallon. It's hard to beat that deal.
