On the same thread, a lot of people say that because gas is cheap now, people will stop thinking about mileage when they buy a car. I think a lot of people will realize there is long term risk to buying a gas guzzler. If you plan to keep it for 3-5 years, you don't know what gas will cost in 1 year, much less 3 years.

Gas has been cheaper for several weeks now and usage is still down roughly 3% YOY for the past 4 weeks according to yesterday's oil inventory report. In fact, crude oil inventories keep growing.......this would be a good time to finish filling the secret oil reserve or whatever we call it.

And it was only three weeks ago that Puget Sound voters approved a massive [read expensive] proposition to build mass transit over the next 20 years. I think people have finally got it........that we blew a golden opportunity over the last 30 years with Reagan's dismantling of Carter's efforts to become less dependent upon oil and now we can not screw around any longer.
