The real problem is that, if too many people started saving a lot of gas, they would jack up the prices to maintain their profit level. Look at the price of fuel in the UK. They get their oil from the same places as the rest of the world but, people don't use as much. Next time you pay almost 2 quid for a liter, blame all the 250 - 350 motorbikes, 3 wheel cyclecars such as Riley, and econo cars like Morris and Hillman. Had folks bought more 6 cylinder Austins, Jensen V8's, Bristols, Bentley's and Nash Healeys, you'd be paying the same price for petrol as the yanks.
