LOL...

To me, anything that gets us to conserve fuel so we can tell the Saudis and the rest of the oil-saturated Islamic nutjob world to eat their oil is alright by me, whether it be diesel, hybrids, hydraulic hybrids, electric, horses, bikes, or walking....

And we could probably get significant savings just by getting everyone to get a tune-up and inflate their tires properly....

Not sure it would matter much. They would just up the price of oil to make up some of the difference. Also as the 3rd world countries improve their economies their demand will increase to make up for our lessening demand. Only after we come up with the technology which renders their oil obsolete will we be in a position to do as you say. Further, if we spread the technology around the world then in short order the Arabs will be roaming the desert as they were 100 years ago. They have nothing but oil and once it is no longer needed they are done and will, I believe pay a dear price for their actions of the past 25 years.

Conserving fuel isn't going to change anything. The Saudis will still be selling us oil because they can sell it for less than anyone else.
