George W. Bush

Someone explain this nonsense to me

Reuters:

"Don't buy gas if you don't need it," [Bush] said in Oval Office remarks with his father and Clinton at his side.

Is there some sort of frivolous gas buying trend we don't know about? Bands of half-stoned teens going from pump to pump squirting fuel in the air like a lawn sprinkler?

In a nation which functions via automobile, it's like saying, "Don't blink if you don't need to."
