How about something really dramatic, like no SUVs? How about increased commuter rail, not at the mercy of freight rail-line schedules? How about a tax subsidy to users of public transportation? How about sending home all of those illegals...they use fuel resources, after all. How much fuel would be saved if people had smaller lawns and/or hand mowers?

With the exception of the illegals comment, you sound like you're a socialist from Europe.

I did, indeed. I'd much rather see capitalistic economic forces control supply and demand. It can't work in a rigged economy in which a huge percentage of consumers don't spend money, rather, they accrue debt.
