"That's the same logic that's having us pay $3 for a gallon of gas,
while oil companies rack up unprecedented and obscenely huge
profits."




If people stopped buying huge SUVs getting 12 MPG (like the one my
brother bought), the cost of gas would go down. You don't like the
price of gas? Get a fuel efficient car and it won't matter as much!
We as a country squander resources at enormous rates, then gripe about
the cost. We have huge houses, huge vehicles, and live in a throw away
society.

My company service truck only gets 12 MPG, but I need a large vehicle
to carry all the stuff I need to take care of my customers. My family
car gets better fuel economy, and when the kids move out, we will get a
still smaller car! You just want someone else to pay for your wasteful
habbits.
