Peter: Trying to lower their approval rating all the way to zero? Jason: Mom said I needed a project this summer. Dear members of Congress, I am writing about the high cost of gasoline. No doubt you are exploring smart, long-term solutions, but those might take years and years to show results. And you don't have years and years. You are up for re-election this November. So here is my suggestion... enact legislation that defines a gallon as being 32 ounces of liquid instead of 128. Gas will instantly cost only $1 per gallon!! You'll be heroes!!
It’s a good thing he didn’t suggest changing the pricing to liters. That would have almost the same effect, and could be justified as continuing the transition to metrics.
