U.S. gas consumption per day

When was the last time you heard the words "conserve gasoline" from this administration. I think it was in 2001 when Cheney was discussing his energy task force report and he was asked about conservation. He said something like “it may be a sign of good personal virtue, but it was no basis for energy policy.” As opposed to most, he likely sees nothing wrong with this chart.

After a quick search, I see I'm wrong. Bush mentioned it in his own convoluted way in 2005:

[W]e can all pitch in by using -- by being better conservers of energy. I mean, people just need to recognize that the storms have caused disruption, and that if they're able to maybe not drive when they -- on a trip that's not essential, that would be helpful.

It was noted in the article on his speech that this contradicts Cheney's earlier statement and the rather consistent disregard of conservation of fuel during the entire administration.
