If you are looking to spend less money on gasoline, those are your options. If people choose to drive more and negate the financial benefits of higher fuel efficiency, that's up to them.
Obama out of touch with working class Americans.

I'm simply stating what will happen on a large scale.

This is ludicrous. There is no way spending $25K on a new Prius will "save money."
I bought a Prius used last year for 7 K-paid cash. My savings on gas was immediately 70.00+ a week. True my old vehicle was a mid size SUV- but I no longer lived in the Sierras and my need for 4-wheel drive was no longer an issue. Buying used foreign cars (Prius is now manufactured in MS USA) I think is an issue when buying new, but not used. I agree that we ought to try and support American workers when we can-but we also have to support our own bottom line-especially in this kind of an economy.
As an aside I have had no problems with my cars performance or reliability....it really is a marvelous car.
To tell you the truth, if my Honda Civic Hybrid wasn't falling apart from the dirt roads I would still be saving nearly $300/mo in gas. Unfortunately it was falling apart, so I had to get rid of it... There's some things you have to sacrifice in order to live where you want.
We had 4. You want at least a 7 passenger vehicle for a family if you have 2 or more kids. What with birthday parties and sporting events etc. This is not to say you can't manage it without one-but it certainly has a huge convenience factor. I know people with 6+ kids and they all have 8-10 passenger vans
Done.
He did and I didn't take it as mockery.
Obama has put out an energy proposal just last week that outlines his plan.
I was kidding, SF. Get your panties unbunched. Having said that, I don't remember the exact quote, but in the not too too distant pass Ari Felischer waxed eloquently about high energy consumption being the American way of life.
Vehicle manufacturers have actually been very aggressive in extending credit on very favorable terms for the purchase of new vehicles. Now, with the state of the economy many may not be able to get a new car in any event, but lack of available credit for the purchase of automobiles is not really a problem right now.
It's kind of a chicken-egg thing, though. Gas prices are higher now because of increasing demand resulting from increased economic activity. Oil and gas prices were low because of low demand due to decreased economic activity. The relationship is a bit more complex than you suggest.
That's basically what he did in my estimation.
If you have more than 2 kids in car seats, you need a big vehicle. And if you don't want a minivan, we're talking Tahoe, Exhibition, Suburban, Sequoia type vehicles.

She previously had one of those Acura SUV's and that wouldn't fit three car seats in the back.
Now how in the hell did u get 7K in cash I ask u? Did you steal money while you were hacking those email accounts of your co workers? It is either that or the sleuthing done by the Long Island Lolita was right all along and you're on welfare and farming pigs!

Indeed he is out of touch. Doesn't seem to have a clue that many are not making ends meet, much less being in the position now to buy a car, any car. At the rate that gas prices are going, those that are 'underemployed' and their numbers are legion, will not be able to get to work.

I wasn't aware of the top down increasing drag. I thought the less bulk or size, the better.
There goes my conservation effort.

Superfreak, you're out of touch with working class americans as evidenced by your globalist belief that all functions besides CEO and Sales Associate should be done by slaves in foreign lands.

All you internationalist fascist neocon traitors are out of touch. May you choke on my obvious truths. Have fun trying to rebutt my awesomeness, you human sphincters.
I know, there I go again, not sticking to the script. I'll do better in the future---cross my ever-loving hacking heart

I stand unrebutted.
Globalist neocons are also out of touch with working americans. They believes their wages should be dropped to the levels of the chinese slaves to 'compete'.
Anyone care to say otherwise?

I can feel you neocon sellouts squirming, marinating in your own mental failures over this thread.
