Me too, but that's because I like food that tastes good, not because of my politics. Same with the garden & compost pile.

But this association of politics with cars & fuel economy has always seemed completely bass-akwards to me. I mean your liberal is supposed to be the one who likes spending money, no? While your conservative (of the fiscal variety, at least) is stereotypically supposed to pinch every penny until Abe starts crying. But when it comes to cars, there's your left-winger in his fuel-sipping Prius, while the right-winger thinks he has to blow gallons of that $4 gas out the tailpipe.
