I don’t think Newt is exactly hurting when it comes to filling up his gas tank either.
Neither Newt nor Mitt hurts when they fill up the wife’s Caddy, but that’s not the point. The point is that Mitt doesn’t get it, but Newt does.
The guy that’s really hurting because of high fuel prices is the independent long haul trucker. It costs $1,103 to fill up those 280-gallon fuel tanks with diesel at $3.94 a gallon. His rig is not a luxury yacht, but the tool of his trade, the means by which he tries to make a living.
Romney has no idea of what these truckers are going through. Newt gets it.
