Pat Blevins, of Waterville, Ohio, fills the tank of his 2016 Chevrolet Silverado at an S&G gas station in Sylvania Township west of Toledo on Tuesday, July 5, 2022. “It likes to eat gas,” he said of his truck, which he said gets around 15 miles per gallon. As Congress and now the Supreme Court stymie the Biden administration’s efforts to curb climate change, one thing the president doesn’t want - sky high gas prices - actually is nibbling away at emissions of heat-trapping gas.
