Gas Prices

One of my coworkers drives about an hour to get to work each day and another hour to get home. He got a house far from the city center because houses are less expensive out there and he could afford to buy a nice big house. Now he's crying because gas expenses are eating up so much of his money and he has to fill up his tank every few days, even with carpooling. The poor guy says he's hardly making any money from the job because the commuting cost is so high.

What does he drive? An SUV? Or something with a reasonable level of fuel economy? If the public reacts properly this might actually turn out to be a good thing. Maybe Americans will finally think about how much energy they are using and start to buy cars, appliances, etc. that are efficient.
