I've not heard of much push for legislation banning certain vehicles other than for safety reasons. Even the notion that the national speed limit of fifty-five miles per hour should return to save gasoline isn't uttered on the house floor without return of death threats. We're going to see more push for government involvement to get oil profits questioned (again, yawn) and suggested increases in government subsidizing of consumer gasoline. Hopefully, none of this will happen and the market will be left to continue its march upward in price.
People can drive whatever they want, I could care less, and I'd like to see less attitude from
both sides of the SUV/anti-SUV crowd, especially regarding actions that would endanger lives on the road. I have no sympathy for fools that buy vehicles they can afford now but make no allowment for gasoline price increases in the future. Their mistakes are their own.
