You Can Drive My Car

Hit and Run just posted a link showing Members of Congress who directly leased cars instead of going through the GSA (at a lesser expense). I’m not privy enough to the campaign-finance implications of this (i.e are there problems given the mixed usage if you have a GSA vehicle), so I’m not jumping one way or the other on the simple fact of their having leased cars. But I thought it’d be an interesting exercise on my coffee break to map the make/model to their vote on Kyoto. In the SUV column, “XX” means a full-size SUV, “X” means a SUV.

The vote is on the 2000 House advisory vote (2000-323) on the Kyoto Treaty.

|Member Name|Vote on Kyoto|State/Party|SUV|Make/Model|2005 Cost|

|Curt Weldon|YES|Pennsylvania Republican|XX| Ford Expedition|”$8,551″|

|Solomon Ortiz|YES|Texas Democrat|XX| Chevrolet Tahoe|”$8,492″|
|Sue Kelly|YES|New York Republican/Conservative|XX| Chevrolet Tahoe|”$8,736″|Continuing down the list, one thing that’s interesting is how modest most of the cars leased are; I’d expected a lot of Navigators and Escalades. I’m actually kind of impressed.

4 thoughts on “You Can Drive My Car”

  1. You know, a much better indicator of who the hypocritical Janus-faced gas-sucking pigs are would be the use of private jets. Like those Learjet 60s that any good lobbyist can get you with a quick phone call. Complete with $25,000 worth of fuel, gratis. Go to a few Sierra Club lunches in one of those and you’ll use more gas than every school bus in Texas.

  2. Since my poppa relies on a Ford pension and gets Ford health care benefits, I was heartened by the number of distinguished Senators driving the Ford 500 and the Ford Freestyle.

    While both of these vehicle are very large and roomy, they use the Duratec 3.0 litre 6-cylinder engine, considered quite small for vehicles that size, coupled with advanced-technology 6-speed or continuously-variable transmissions.

    These cars have not gotten good press — the complaint is “good gas mileage but way underpowered.” If one is a Senator, I imagine one wants to drive a solid, secure (these cars have the highest safety ratings from both the Federal government and the more stringent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety), comfortable car. These cars use a small engine and advanced transmission to get good mileage for reasonable levels of acceleration, and part of the criticism of these cars (and weak sales) is that a lot of people still don’t want to make any compromises for mileage, and the transmissions rev the small engine to get acceleration, unlike the experience in similar-sized cars with bigger block motors.

    I commend those Senators, voting either for or against Kyoto, who are driving a fine American car made in my hometown of Chicago that provides a good balance between comfort, room, safety, and saving fuel.
