President George W. Bush said on Monday that a significant amount of oil refining capacity in Texas and Louisiana shut by recent hurricanes will be back on line soon, but he still
urged American motorists to conserve gasoline wherever possible.
Traveling back to the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast tomorrow, President Bush isn't taking a gas-guzzling car. Instead, he's flying in Air Force One. Air Force One, a 747, uses 3,840 gallons of aviation fuel per hour.
Tomorrow's "Photo Op" will cost American Taxpayers about 20,000 gallons at an average price of $4.40 per gallon or $88,000.
Plus, the president plans to travel in his traditional motorcade of gas-guzzling SUV's when visiting the hurricane zone.
The buck stops where?
