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.
Ummm....yeah, sure GB. That's it alright. If those poor Limeys would'a just started driving Cadillac Coupe de Villes back in the day, they'd would'a had relatively cheap gas today too, huh?! Riiiiiight! 
Well, I PERSONALLY know of one Limey bloke who's doin' his best to prove your theory here!
Yep. He drives a '72 "boattail" Buick Rivera around over there. And so...I suppose if wasn't for that dude...err...bloke...those poor suckers over there would evidently be payin' TWICE what they do already!!!
So, all my brit "cousins"....ALL HAIL FUNKLETRUMPET!!!! 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
