I agree, we need gas to stay at $5/gal. then people will MAYBE start doing something about this problem. And people who think they are cool driving around Navigators with 24" wheels will think twice now. If people just went back to cars the savings would be huge. Where I live trucks and sport utilitys were starting to take over the streets. I have noticed a change back to cars lately. Even cars that get bad MPG get way better then any truck. My 04 Tundra crew cab Limited TRD 4x4 with its 4.10:1 axel got 12.5 MPG on its best day. In the winter if I warmed it up while scraping the ice off, I averaged 8 MPG. Its LONG gone. No more trucks for me.
