Let's look at that a little closer:
1) not concerned over saving $10-20/ MONTH makes one a "big shot with a lot of money in the bank" Hmmm.....yes, 5 years of saving $10/mo. would deplete the "big shot's" savings of a whopping $600
2) To save $20/mo., at 18 cents/gallon = 111.1 gallons/month or $556 at $5/gallon and implies driving 2,999 miles/MONTH---a bit more than average, which according to Car and Driver magazine is 13,500/year So the savings for an average driver is closer to $7/month.
3) But the proposal is only to repeal that tax for 3 months, so total savings is $21---yep, that would put someone in the "1%"
