This headline at MSNBC...just repeats what was said here at this forum the minute the rebate program was announced. Glad they are catching up to us

2. Many may have to spend it just to live on.
$300, $600 or $1200 dollars isn't going to go far in todays economy

At todays gas price of $3.30/gal
Average fill 15 gallons

$300 will buy 6 tanks of gas. Now I use a tank of gas a week on each of my cars that would be 3 weeks of gas. WOW! Some stimulus for the oil companies.

5. Mine goes from Bush's pocket into Riley's pocket. (R-Gov. AL)
The rebate will just about cover my state income taxes.
Wonder if they could just do direct deposit?
