[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1039377, member: 12570"] The key difference is the rest of the world has adapted to high gas prices. Vehicles are generally smaller and alternate forms of transportation, to include mass transit, are more prevalent, especially in Europe. When I was in Sicily in 1983 gas was already $5/gallon. People drove small cars, rode their bikes or took the bus. SUV's were unheard of. Sober has called for the EPA to relax their emissions standards so as to allow the car companies to produce vehicles to be sold here which can get upward of 80mpg. The technology exists and is commonplace in Europe and Asia. TOS has reported that the use of alternative fuel vehicles in California has increased as the price of fuel has increased. This is exactly what Obama wants and what our nation needs. [/QUOTE]
