I like his intentions, but sadly enough it makes no difference. Until we (Americans) cut back on our energy consumption prices will continue to skyrocket.

In no way do I want the government or even my neighbor to mandate what you or I must buy.
FWIW

Amen,
I remember a friend who bought a big SUV, and then would try to put the minimum amount of gas in the tank to keep it running, like $5.
Most people believe that because they can purchase (read finance) a thing, it means that they can afford that thing. Wrong wrong wrong. Most people cant count the time-value of money.

My explorer is mid sized and I can't say mileage is great, but one of the reasons I bought it was for safety. With everyone and their momma driving suvs, I rather be in one when I get hit. It's only driven when family is out shopping, going to park, whatever. I feel safer in it and for me that is what counts. I get 15 or so around town and about 19 highway. I think the summer we bought the truck gas was $2.48 gallon. To fill up now each tank is about $17 more, but we drive little so don't have to fill up so much. I am sure doing the 2 times a week would hurt.
You can't blame speeding or big vehicles on the gas prices.
I don't see the logic behind that.

Wasteful driving in portable living rooms makes gas prices go up for ME, not just themselves.

Who are you to determine what I NEED!!??!! I work hard for my money and will drive whatever I please. I am not complaining at all about gas prices and will continue to drive my truck as I see fit. Why don't you tell the govt to drop the gas tax and see what type of response you get.

Please tell me that you guys aren't so ignorant to believe that gas hogs don't play a role in high gas prices.
thunderchild,
If you drive around 12k miles per year; you ended up paying roughly $1000 more for fuel than I. If a thousand dollars doesn't hurt you bottom line, good for you.
