Re: A quick fix for the gas addicts
Yeah I like the part of raising the price to 3.50 so we can all be so green little goodies and the rest of the world can follow us on being good little green campers. Ever been to China or other countries that are complaining on our consumerism with oil? The air isn't fit to breath like it is here. Raising gas prices astronomically won't clean up pollution. This is just propaganda
That wouldn't necessary get ride of Hummers, since most Hummer owners can afford it. What it would do to the guy that has to commute to work every day and can't afford one of those shiny new 30mpg expensive hybrid gadgets.
What's going to determine the the fuel efficiency of the future cars that we drive is that the price of gas which will effect sales. We have already seen the answer, sort of. The H-3. GM who took a lot of crap for building gas eating Hummers turned around and built a fuel efficient one. A larger SUV that is leading the pack at fuel efficiency too. Imagine That!
