If Cars Are the Problem, They Can Also Be the Solution

I must say Alberto does have a piece of the pie when he alleges that raising the price of gas forces the consumer to make choices about the vehicle used for transportation. When gas reached $4.11 a gallon I noticed more public transportation being used. More F250's and F150's were parked along the side of the road with FOR SALE signs posted on them and the topic of conversation at the company water cooler was, "Where is the cheapest gas station?" Auto dealers lots were filled with trucks they couldn't give away. Used car lots were doing a brisk business in 4 cylinder cars. It was only then that the Big Three scrambled to produce more energy efficient vehicles.
RAISE THE PRICE OF GAS TO $20.00 A GALLON. OUR DRIVING HABITS WILL CHANGE, GREEN HOUSE GASES WILL CHANGE AND CAR MANUFACTORS WILL CHANGE.
