Bill,
No, I can't ever in my lifetime see any politician giving up any of their so called perks, no matter what it costs the people. And there is so much apathy among the people that they will never be voted out of office until it is to late and they have did away with the right to vote.
Is this the headline that you are referring to SPF?

I like the idea but I notice they don't say anything about what it will add to the price of a new car, many of which are already priced out of reach of the average working person. And the idea that gas will drop in the future because of this I don't buy either as the
oil companies are not going to let their profits drop any more than they have to. Example: Right here right now. Gas is going up fast as the tourist trade is way down due to people staying closer to home. It always goes up during tourist season, but now they have to make up for the lost sales they would have normally had so it is going up more and faster.
