Gas prices can be influenced by political events in other nations, our energy policies, and random accidents like the recent refinery fire in California. Becoming energy independent will help America in many ways.

Dr. Lee Rogers (D) is running for Congress in the district that includes Simi Valley , Santa Clarita, and Palmdale. That is a big area to cover. He drives an American built Chevy Volt.

I have not understood why some people seem to take such an interest in attacking fuel efficient cars. When someone drives a fuel efficient car others benefit by cleaner air and less demand on oil.

Does the car a candidate drives matter at all to you? I do find it interesting what a candidate might communicate by their choice in vehicle.

If this subject interests you post a comment. If there is enough interest in this subject I will ask other politicians what they drive.

You do not need to register to comment but keep it classy.
