Isn't this question fairly simple to answer or is everyone living in denial. Like 2/3 of the people I know who are over 16 drive .1 of a mile.
And another thing, you the hell do you guys complain about gas prices and yet you guys buy SUV's and Hummers and the like which get horrible gas mileage when you could get something thats probably cheaper and more fuel efficient. Its not like you need 100000 horse power to go 70mph on a freeway.
In europe they pay about 8 bucks a gallon + tremendous other taxes on cars, not because they need to, but because they know it makes people not become totaly car dependent like everyone I know.
