Car shoppers caught up in the frenzy of the "cash-for-clunkers" program will have more time and 2 billion more reasons to trade in their old gas guzzlers.
clunker n [C] AmE informal
an old car or other machine that does not work well
If you say that a car is a gas guzzler you mean that it uses a lot of fuel and is not cheap to run. (AM INFORMAL)
with (one's) tongue in (one's) `cheek not intending to be taken seriously; with irony or humour
A tongue-in-cheek remark or attitude is not serious, although it may seem to be.
this comment was tongue in cheek
