I remember the posters from WWII - "If you drive alone you drive with Hitler".

Wasting gasoline was considered unpatriotic back they.

In the article "...This makes the act of pump gasoline at odds with our national security and certainly a questionable patriotic thing to do...."

What a load of BS.
