re: SUV drivers that are getting under 22 mpg should be required to pay more at the pump. They should be subsidizing us rather than helping to penalize us all...

First smart thing I've heard you say.

Less than 5% of the worlds population and more than 25% of the world's oil consumption. Ridiculously inefficient.

And---

*feeding dollars into bad actor regimes
*oil providing 1/3 of the current account deficit
*oil prices taking productive dollars out of the economy
*regressive tax
*global warming and pollution if you believe in that stuff

We could EASILY travel just as many miles on 60% of the fuel, which would cut the price of oil in half.
