Chris Matthews needs to get out more

And pump his own gas for the limo.

Another shining example of the out-of-touch beltway punditocracy.

This exchange is from yesterday:

MATTHEWS: It sure is. Let's take look at Obama today on that point.

OBAMA [video clip]: I was in a bar with [Sen.] Bob Casey [D-PA] -- great guy. And we were catching a little bit of the Final Four, and we were talking to a guy sitting next to us who was out of work. And he made a point that should be obvious to so many of us, but, you know, you sometimes don't think about; he's out of work. He's having to drive around looking for work, and he's saying it was killing -- "it's killing me to try to fill up my gas tank just to get to a interview for a job." You're out of work, and here you are just burning money filling up the tank.

MATTHEWS: I think he talked about an $85 tank. That's a hell of a big tank, even in today's prices. Eighty-five dollars? What is that?

But, as Media Matters points out:

In fact, numerous trucks and SUVs have gasoline tanks large enough that it costs $85 or more to fill them up, based on "today's prices." For instance, the Ford F-150, according to Edmunds.com, "has been the most popular vehicle sold in the United States for nearly every year of the past three decades." Fueleconomy.gov, a website that describes itself as being "maintained jointly by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency" in order "to provide accurate MPG [miles per gallon] information to consumers," states that the 2007 four-wheel-drive (4WD) F-150 offers a gas tank in sizes ranging from 26.0 to 30.0 gallons.

Lots more info on the site. They even have a chart showing several vehicles that cost $85 and up to fill up.
