This is just the latest version of that old joke...
Everyone is at a faculty meeting. The proposed department budget of 42 Million dollars passes unanimously with no comment, even though most of the people there have no idea what it contains.
The attendees then argue for 45 minutes about whether or not the department should be paying for a box of doughnuts for the meeting.
For some people, the price of gas is like the doughnuts, and the car(s) they buy are the department budget.
