13. So stop whining, Rep. West. It costs me $120 to fill up my car.

My car holds a little over 60 liters and gas costs about €1.56 a liter.

In US terms, it gets about 24 miles to the gallon, and is almost ten years old.
If West wants to drive around in the civilian version of a Sherman Tank, I guess
it's his right, but he shouldn't be whining about the cost--he knew that when he
bought his abomination to begin with.
