Gas prices

Nothing to do with trucks, freight, etc. They need to travel. The main
problem is that regular consumers need to be weaned off of large, gas
guzzling cars and Stupid Utility Vehicles. If gas prices rose to north
of $5/gal, the car companies would be forced to make cars more efficient
because no one would buy the gas pigs.

Jon,

In your home state of Calif., Ford & Benz were both selling zero
immersion electric (GEM & Think) vehicles and the State extended the
band and Ford quit and cancelled all leases. Jon, all the other trucks,
etc were still polluting AND will continue even at $10.00 Gal

By the way, I almost brought a GEM this week but you can't drive them,
in Washington, on any Roads that has a speed limit over 35MPH. OK for
the City but I could get to my friends' homes in the next Town over, for
our Thursday luncheon
