of course reduction in the amount of gas we consume, not just finding a different fuel supply, would also go a long way to help... do all of us that drive vehicles that only get 15mpg (or maybe 21mpg on the highway) really need that type of vehicle. Could we have gotten a smaller engine with it? do we really need to have a 7 people mover as the daily driver? maybe find a way to commute together (as Nikki suggested)?
It really depends on a lot of things, but the price of gas here is only just on its way to to being where it is in a lot of other parts of the world so I am not sure that prices are going to be coming down any time soon. At least not to where they were before this current price hike.
