re: One-Third of Consumers Looking at More Fuel-Efficient Cars Dealers Report Four-Cylinder Sales Accelerating Briskly ___________________ So it looks like people adjust to prices even without having a big increase in government incentives to try and get them to change. Again, that's why I posted it to you, it supports your position more than mine, so I thought you would be interested. The other side of the coin is that we've been through this before... and it didn't stick. Remember the 4.5% and 25% thing? 4.5% population, 25% consumption? We need much more than a slight change in behaviour. John

One-Third of Consumers Looking at More Fuel-Efficient Cars Dealers Report Four-Cylinder Sales Accelerating Briskly So it looks like people adjust to prices even without having a big increase in government incentives to try and get them to change. Norway is the third largest exporter of oil in the world but Norwegians pay some of highest prices at the gas pump. Coincidently, or maybe not so coincidently, Norway has one of the highest standards of living in the world and one of the soundest economies in the world......beating out this country hands down. I don't expect you to understand their philosophy.....after all, its probably as foreign to you as voting for GW Bush is to me, but there is a message in there somewhere for you.
