guzzler

With gasoline consumption having topped out in the U.S., the world's top gas guzzler, in 2019 and China set to peak around next year, global gasoline markets could move into a surplus from 2025.

Once they see that it’s not that different from driving a gas guzzler, perhaps they’ll buy one, fake sounds and all.

The state already has a hodgepodge of programs that help lower-income residents buy electric cars — including one that offers grants of up to $9,500 to replace a gas guzzler with a cleaner vehicle — though they have suffered from a lack of funding.

In addition to slashing tires, the group left condescending leaflets on the vehicles that read, “ATTENTION: Your gas guzzler kills. You’ll be angry, but don’t take it personally. It’s not you, it’s your car. … You will have no difficulty getting around without your gas guzzler, with walking, cycling or public transport.”

The United States declined, saying the tank is such a gas guzzler — it employs a jet engine — and requires such a supply line to keep running that it would not be useful in Ukraine’s environment.
