Jim,

There are many different factors which determine the total gas consumption. You seem very focused on one of them, which is the type of automobile people are driving.

Perhaps you should broaden your thoughts and recognize that there are many other factors as well.

I personally think it is rather senseless to have 3,000,000 people in Silicon Valley use an average of two gallons a day, driving in a miserable traffic jam for 90 minutes, just so that they can sit behind a computer at the other end of their drive.

This scene is repeated in thousands of cities, all over the world every day.

Also, if people would actually drive the more fuel efficient cars we wouldn't be in as much doo-doo either.
Like I said before, Americans love those guzzlers...


Jim,

Children love to eat dirt, plastic, garbage etc. Do we let them?
