I agree to a point, but I say we've got to limit consumption. It's okay to drive an SUV, but take turns if you can. In my case, my Accord does not use much fuel. But, I can still help by taking the bus and parking my car except for weekends, for example. This would also cause higher resale for lower mileage.

Sounds a bit like Jimmah Carter.

Remember those speeches about setting the thermostat at 68 and "tightening our belts" in the 70's?

You don't have to say it, people do it as prices rise.

If someone wants to drive a gas guzzler, let him. That will give the oil companies more money to explore for and develop oil or other energy sources. As for me, I am so tight that my biggest need for oil is to lubricate myself so I don't squeak when I walk.
