Nothing makes me happier when people ask me how much my cars gets to the gallon with a smug look on their face. Especially when the smug look turns to surprise as I tell them the truth:
My V6 Camaro gets the same MPG as the 2010 Toyota Matrix 4cyl 2.4, and one MPG less than the Toyota Avalon. Then with a smug look on MY face I tell them uglier doesn't always mean more efficient.

this is a manufactured story, every politican has critics but alot of of them are fringe nutjobs... a few very liberal / 'pro green' newspapers picked up the story and ran with it -- the Toronto Star being the most notable. ironically you go to their web forums and peoples' comments on the articles are 'way to go mayor!'.
Seriously, he gets a car allowance, buys a car made in his city. what could possibly be wrong with this? Its a great move. Wish i lived in Oshawa so that I could vote for him. |

I'd vote for him.
That is the mayor's job. If you're not supporting your community, then you don't belong in office.

You would think they would take a picture of his actual car for it, he did a pretty cool job of customizing it

He also had a Stephen Colbert day a while ago, the result of a lost bet.
And to the guy who was claiming mileage, he didn't even use the imperial gallon that we're supposed to use in Canada

Proud Oshawa mayor and his Camaro SS ruffle some feathers
The hot-selling 2010 Chevy Camaro is made in Oshawa, Canada. The mayor of Oshawa, John Gray, drives a spanking new red Camaro SS with a white racing stripe, just like the one that introduced the bowtie muscle car to the Middle East back in June. Supporting locally made products sounds like a shrewd move for any politician, especially when the city is footing the bill for your ride. A free Camaro is a great job perk, but one Oshawa resident – Bill Steele – doesn't agree. Steele says the mayor is "flaunting this gas-guzzling vehicle all around town... and I don't like that I'm paying for part of a sports car that gets 17 miles to the gallon." Steele serves up the city's high tax rates as a reason why the mayor shouldn't be driving a Camaro. Of course, without over 400 Camaros being built in Oshawa per day, there would likely be thousands fewer tax payers to help pay those already high taxes. Mayor Gray knows there are a few citizens who don't like his pricey, thirsty pony car, but that thankfully isn't stopping him from driving it. Thanks for the tip, Alan! FROM:AutoBlog.com |
