I know jaguar...we shouldn't expect ANYTHING from our current administration. ;-)
Truth be told, the US is spoiled. We have some of the lowest gasoline (or petrol as you Aussies call it) prices in the world...nothing like what is going on in Europe (or what happened in France and Belgium last year). Not to mention, we manufacture some of the worst gas-eaters on earth. (Those fu**ing SUVs) As I said previously, I own a Geo/Chevrolet Metro. With its twin, the Suzuki Swift, they are two of the highest gas-economy cars in the US. Unfortunately, with my poor car having one foot in the grave, the gas mileage isn't what it used to be. Not to mention, I think the EPA's estimates are b.s.
The only reason I even drive to work anymore is because my current employer pays for it. Before that, I was a happy little subway and bus rider. And depending on what I do in my next job, I may be back on the El again.
