i live in a country where gas is five dollars a
gallon
I can assure you the following:
freeways are still congested
parking is nearly impossible
pollution is growing
traffic have never been worse
automakers understand this very well because if not
they would star manufacturibg cars that save gas, or
on alternate clean fuels or much safer
despite all this and the growing car prices they are
still selling
to stop this folly we need new drastic fuel saving
rules and governmental intervention for non polluting
fuels
