OMG. How is this not the most important part? Even the most self-centered Americans can eventually be taught to see the upside of giving Muslims $5-$10 less each time they go to fill up. Even if they hate to help the car industry, there's an even more important aspect. I don't know if the other money spent on programs comes back, but whatever is spent on this program starts coming back into the economy in $5-$10 chips (right away.) People can't see this?
