It is true that auto manufacturers could do a lot better with current technology to produce an efficient car. The big problem is that too many Americans are sucked into the media hype that we "need" bigger SUV's, or faster sports cars. And these Americans spend a LOT of their income on these inefficient vehicles. Look at where all the money goes, and think about who drives the media. The fact is that most Americans could get where they need to go without using ANY petroleum for 95% of their trips. When we begin walking or using a bicycle, it becomes obvious that these methods of transport are not only fun and functional, they also cost little or nothing, improve our health directly, and improve the environment by reducing our personal carbon footprint. High fuel prices are GOOD! They are helping us to wake up and take responsibility for the unconscious or irresponsible decisions that we made in the past. More and more Americans are now making smarter choices - living closer to where they work, using mass transit, bicycling, walking, demanding more efficient vehicles, and making all sorts of good decisions that will ultimately leave this world in tact for generations to come.
