Gas is cheap for us, but we fail to realize that there's more to it than money. I firmly believe that we will within the next half century or so either run out of oil or come perilously close to doing so. Driving the dinosaurs we do isn't going to help.<br> <br>That includes me.

The EU emissions standards are much less than those in the US--a key reason why most diesel vehicles and special trim lines don't come to the States.  (That and higher crash impact NHTSA standards.)
