We double our food prices and American's hardly blink. People in poor countries are starving because of grain diverted to bio-diesel production. Of course of lot of poor countries starve their people to get cash from the IMF <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

Every day when I'm driving to work I see only one person per 3000 lb car or 4500 lb SUV. Any way you slice it, the economics and physics of using 4500 lbs to move a 180 lb person to and from work is wasteful. I should know I have a 96 Land Cruiser <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/oink.gif" alt="" />

I plan on getting a Smart car or other toy car even for my 5 mile commute. I'm sure the car companies have plans for more 60 MPG cars in the works. Heck I'll settle for a old Subaru Justy 3 cylinder AWD <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
