Or you can deal with the real problem. Buy ten gallons of gasoline. How many actually move the car? Somewhere between one and two. More than 8 of those 10 gallons does nothing but create heat. Does nothing productive because gasoline at $7 per gallon is so rediculously cheap.

Want to solve the problem? Any car getting less that 30 MPG (the actual numbers) in local driving is a car onwer who wants to burn more gas for his greater glory. Anyone with an engine larger than 4 cyliinders loves screwing everyone for his own ego.

Deal with why more than 8 of every ten gallons is burned to do nothing productive. Otherwise, you (and we all) deserve prices exceeding $10 per gallon. Those who hate innovation are defined in that above paragraph. 'Drill baby drill' is a soundbyte for $10 gasoline. "More Ethanol!" since we so want to make things worse by ignoring the problem.
