So now that half the world thinks the US owns Iraq...

I totally agree !! All of those people who have whinged about your post are totally out of touch. It doesn't matter if gas costs a lot in europe as they don't use much. But in the US it's important, if we could get the US gas price down I'm sure Americans could use more of it, and thus reduce ythe world supply faster. This of course would be good, because the faster we run out globally, the less chance of pollution there will be. Regardz Colin J Davies

Unfortunately, a small car doesn't stand a chance if hit by an SUV (or an 18-wheeler which outnumber the cars where I live).

blogActually, statistics show that smaller cars are much safer. Sure, they lose in a head on collision, but are much more stable and manuveralbe. So the odds of staying on the road are much greater.

Compared to prices below $1 just a couple of years ago, it sux. Our monthly bill for gas has gone up about $30-$40 since then. That's a significant dent in the pocketbook for me. That means no eating out or buying computer software, etc.

A best-selling vehicles for 2003 list. http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4022358&src=windowshopping[^] The top 3 are trucks, which each average only about 16 MPG. So the stereotype isn't that far out there. The thing is, as a consumer most decisions are made primarily based on economics. Since gas is cheap and these vehicles are typically more useful than a compact car, there is no incentive other than a sense of duty to the environment to purchase more efficient cars. Also, we've got plenty of parking space available, so we don't need to be concerned about the super tight parking garages found in Europe. BW CP Member Homepages

Your still paying WAYY less than half of what the rest of us in the world are paying. God I'm sick of Americans whining about the cost of gas. It's your choice of lifestyle, try to live with it in dignity.

Typical American extravagance. The truth be told however, the automobile is an icon of US culture, far more than just a means to get from point A to point B. In our society, your car is largely a reflection of your personality (and in many cases, your status). Here you can judge many people by the car (or truck) they drive. ~Nitron.
