I got this from Fox News. I can't vouch for the validity of the numbers,
but it sure is interesting:
FUEL FOR THOUGHT
When we get a hold of interesting facts from our "Brainroom"(the underground
hideaway where our FNC researchers work), we like to pass them on to you!
Check out what our fact finders found out about America's rather astonishing
gas-guzzling habits:
--The average U.S. driver uses about 690 gallons of gasoline a year.
--Each 10-cent rise in prices adds about $70 to the average driver's annual
gas bill.
--During the 1990's, gas consumption grew at a rate of 1.5 percent per year.
--American motorists consume about one out of every nine barrels of oil used
in the world.
--In 2000, the average price of gas per gallon was $1.51.

asking you about some VPs of White House past. Good luck. Be the first to
send in the correct answers to [log in to unmask] and win an
official
FNC hat.
1. Who was the first Vice President known as "the Veep"?
2. Which Vice President wrote, "Go quietly...or else"?
3. Who was the only President inaugurated in Philadelphia both as President
and
Vice President?

Napoleon Bonaparte, we can only give away one hat. Congratulations to this
