More fuel efficient cars have already cut consumption of gas in this country by a noticeable amount. I read somewhere that we are driving more miles but using less gas than we were, I think, 15 years ago. The economic collapse is a factor, but, even extrapolating a good economy, we would be using less gas.

It most certainly does. For every vehicle that gets 20mpg you need 3 other cars that get 100 mpg in order to average out at 50 mpg.
SUVs are trucks, not cars. They don't factor into the average mpg for cars.

What's the average price of a hybrid car nowadays?
It's a lofty goal to get the majority of Americans driving hybrid vehicles. The average American can't afford a 30k car.

That would average out at 80 mpg.
The three other cars would need to get 60 mpg.

We have tons of leg room in the prius, get near 50mpg and all five us fit in it easily. Lose some weight America!

You shouldn't be surprised by my penchant for value, affordability, and environmental awareness! Plus I make it look sexy.

Don't worry, the collectivists have a plan for that. You won't be able to afford the trailer.
