Thread: 'Mer'ca wising up, slowly

What gets me is that comparatively, we don't pay all that much for gas here in the U.S. The price is something like 5.60 USD in the UK and upwards of 4.00 USD in most of the rest of Europe.

I'd say the biggest problem we have is not necessarily the oil companies, but the car companies who are squeezing higher performance out of their engines instead of a higher mileage.
