John McCain

Car and Driver is on the case. Judging by this treatment, I expect a hybrid purchase in Obama's near future, even though he now has Secret Service driving him around.

Hillary Clinton
Wheels: Secret Service transportation or husband’s Mercury Mariner hybrid
Output: 155 hp, 124 lb-ft (Mariner hybrid)
EPA fuel economy, city/highway: 32/29 (Mariner hybrid)

John Edwards
Wheels: Ford Escape hybrid
Output: 155 hp, 124 lb-ft
EPA fuel economy, city/highway: 32/29

John McCain
Wheels: Cadillac CTS
Output: 255 hp, 252 lb-ft
EPA fuel economy, city/highway: 17/26

Barack Obama
Wheels: Chrysler 300C
Output: 340 hp, 390 lb-ft
EPA fuel economy, city/highway: 21/28 (17/24 AWD)

Mitt Romney
Wheels: Ford Mustang GT, Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Silverado
Output: Too much horsepower, too much torque
Too little fuel economy

As car people they say Obama has the best ride out of the rest of the Democrats and McCain of the Republicans.

Look elsewhere for voting advice, and keep in mind that once any of these folks is sitting in the Oval Office, their commuting will be done via presidential motorcade consisting of about four Suburbans, four Cadillac DTS limos, and a dozen or so motorcycles; or in Air Force One, a Boeing 747. Compared with those options, even Romney’s redneck dream fleet sips fuel.
