I still remember when he said that he had just visited 57 states and still had one more to go!
Rather than go by "the way you heard it", how about if we actually pay attention to what the guy said.

Tire inflation *alone* would make the "let's drill Anwar" argument moot. Increasing hybrids and mandating plug-in hybrids would reduce the need to drill oil even further. Increasing the solar, wind, geo in combination with plug-in hybrid would reduce that need even further.

I don't think either McCain or Obama propose one thing to be the solution to all things - but let's face it, *everyone* doing a simple, small thing like driving better, inflating the tires, having a tuned engine would go a hell of a lot further than complaining about the high price of oil.
