People are very susceptible to the power of suggestion, which is why commercials work so well. Therefore, what works better than something everyone is already using? Not to mention the distraction from the amount of gas you are putting in your car.christa schotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747613167920267054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630245.post-2126125532980029182008-07-30T11:54:00.000-05:002008-07-30T11:54:00.000-05:00At first, I wasn't too fond of this idea.

The same idea comes into play when gas companies are distracting customers from the high prices.katiedicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538724250850254116noreply@blogger.com
