Toyota Billboard Marks 100 Million Gallons of Gas Saved by Driving Hybrids
I saw the below linked press release from Toyota http://pressroom.toyota.com/Releases...T2005112805565

On Friday, November 25, the billboard clicked over to 100,000,000 gallons saved ... and is still counting.

And, according to the Fed's, we have cheated them out of $18,474,575 in gas tax just for using Toyota. Let's keep up the good work. Come on guys/gals, cough it up, I could have used that money to fix the streets in my town. LOL..

What?! 100 million gallons saved?! I'll bet Dick Cheney is PISSED! Ha ha ha. Of course, Rush Limbaugh declared (on November 23, 2005) that conserving gasoline is un-American. Right.
Actually, that is cool that Toyota hybrids have made such a big difference. I wonder what the total would be if you added the savings from Ford, Honda, and GM Silverado?

Is It REALLY Tax Evasion?
The gas saved probably reduces the wear-and-tear on the highways, and certainly reduces the air pollution damage. Fewer ozone action days, discoloring of buildings, less revenue for OPEC....

I know *I* personally have reduced wear and tear on highways for sure, because the last time I drove on one was back in August. I have converted myself to a "city streets only" guy, which I can do since I live in Phoenix and have access to anything I need right here in the "Valley."

But instead government tends to use 0 balance accounting which doesn't work.
If Toyota is basing this number on EPA estimates it is actually overstating the amount of gas saved by their vehicles.
