Receipt Revolution!
Use Your Gas Receipts to Demand Fuel Efficient Choices
Dear Ian,
Polls show many Americans are downright disgusted with high gas prices—and Congress knows it. We need to take that pain at the pump and make it into a real symbol that Washington cannot ignore. Congress’ return from August recess is the perfect time for us to make it crystal clear that Americans see more fuel-efficient choices in cars, pickups, and SUVs as the way to reduce pain at the pump.
Send your senators a personalized gas receipt, and get all your friends to do it, too!
Here’s what you do:
- Get a gas receipt and highlight the total you paid at the pump.
- Attach a short note calling for more fuel-efficient options for all American drivers. Click here for suggestions.
- Pop it in an envelope with your return address, and send (or fax it) to your senators’ offices. Click here to find the address or fax number of your senators.
- Let us know you took action and what you said by filling out this quick online form and sending us your message.
- THEN, TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO DO IT TOO!
Think of the impact that dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of gas receipts with personal messages could have on a Congressional office. This can make the problem—and the solution—feel far more real and pressing on Capitol Hill.
So let’s get to it, and give the Senate a September to remember!

That message is resonating on Capitol Hill where gas price politics are in full swing in this election year. But in order for gas prices to be an agent for real, positive change, our members of Congress need to hear that Americans believe the best approach to dealing with the issue is more fuel-efficient choices in our cars and trucks.
