Gasoline for Family's Frequent Stops in Romano's Ad Variation

Romano pitches an ad where a family drives a gas-guzzling vehicle that guzzles fuel so fast they stop every three miles to buy gasoline. Will, Cassie, Shelby, Chin, and Romano debate this in the Roosevelt Room, turning it into humorous hyperbole amid SUV and oil rig ideas. Chin's food delivery pauses the pitch, letting Will regain control. The gas underscores inefficient consumption visually through repeated refueling.
