Check under urban legend sites.

Thanks Jon! I didn't think to look on snopes (it's not so much a scam or urban legend as it is a poor understanding of economics). My roomie has to drive 350 miles every *weekend* and I'm sure that hurts his wallet. I think he's already considering purchasing a smaller car, which would fall into the "buy less gas" suggestion given in the snopes link above. Thanks!
