Thanks for posting that Courtie...it shows what we have known (or should have known) for a long time. Individual drivers are responsible for reducing their consumption of fuel. How high do prices have to go before people stop bit**ing...and start doing something to cut their use??? I'm afraid that we are going to find out!!!

We already are - MBTA ridership is up like 10% or something. Only question remaining is what to do about people who don't really have a choice in the matter, like OTR truckers.

More on that subject:

"I'm saving between $100 and $200 a week by cutting back from 72-73 mph to 60-65 mph," said Dennis Sheridan, who owns an 18-wheeler and hauls freight on a contract basis throughout the Northeast.
