And I&#8217;d certainly agree with Will Collier that this is unlikely to win Hillary many votes. But I would humbly suggest that there are a lot of votes to be garnered in the area of oil conservation. I can give you three reasons: Iran, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela. Every time you &#8220;Fill &#8216;er up!&#8221; and express your American born-to-run thing, a lot of people (Will included, I would imagine) are remembering in the back of their minds whose pockets they&#8217;re lining &#8211; as creepier a collection of greedy and dangerous theocrats and mafiosi as currently exist on the planet.
