The Best Cure
I wasn’t going to bring this topic up, because I know most would disagree with me, but here goes anyways…feel free to disagree.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. "At the end of the day, the best cure for high gas prices is high prices." It forces us to either come up with another, hopefully cleaner, method of propulsion, or to get use to curbing our “Addiction”.
Addiction or necessity, to me it doesn’t matter, we have too long become complacent in the idea that our ‘civilized’, ‘we’re the best’, ‘we deserve more’, ‘bigger is better’ attitude has finally got to come to an end. This mindset has plagued our culture for far too long. It’s time we all just grow up… Sure high gas prices hurt, but what’s more hurtful, high gas prices, or our whiny national attitude? I wonder what Europe thinks about us and our ‘high gas prices’. Don’t they pay around 7 or 8 dollars a gallon there?

If Brazil can do it, we can do it. My humble suggestion: if the declaration hasn't been made by 2008, vote Democrat.

Just curious...what are your thoughts on the proposed $100 payout from the Gov?

I hear you on putting your money where your mouth is. But, I don't think you're the only one. I think it's cool that you've got a hybrid, and trust me, if there is a Corolla hybrid when mine finally bites the dust, that's what I'll replace it with.
And speaking of, when we did get a new car, gas mileage was one of our key considerations and a) if there had been a hybrid Matrix, we would've bought that, and b) if there hadn't been a 8-month wait on the Prius we would've considered that as well. We didn't consider the Honda for several reasons, the first being that I remember Joe being disappointed in his and the second is that we needed something with cargo space and a 34mpg Matrix is better than a pickup.
I'm also with you on using what's available in the market and surely the demand for hybrids and other high MPG cars will steer manufacturers in that direction.
