Neda Nessirian drives a Suburban. Her reaction to $2.58 a gallon: "It's almost like a car payment, like a brand new Mercedes $400-$500 gas."
I seem to recall telling Jason that this would be a penalty that those gas guzzling suburban drivers would have to deal with........his response? a drop in the bucket according to him (if they can afford the car, they can afford the gas) Well Im here ta tell ya Jason old bean, that the car payment AND the higher gas payment are maybe the straw that breaks the camel's back and maybe just MAYBE, America will wake up and quit wasting so much resources.

I'd REALLY like to see more of an effort on the part of the car makers to switch to alternative fuel sources, and wean us OFF of our foreign oil habit. We'd be independent from their demands as well, as far as Im concerned, a win-win situation.
